Tom-all the stuff you do,working on weird vehicles,building guns,making parts out of nothing-and you are going to let a little stencil get the best of you?! Oh,the shame.....

I hope someone can help you out of this dilema!

Hey Tom,

One trick I have used with a "small" image is to print it out and then scan it at the highest possible resolution on my scanner. then save it as a .png file. usually you can then blow it up without too much loss. If you send me the images I might be able to do if for you here at work.

Jon at the liberator website talks about creating stencil fonts and created a series he calls browning. I used them to make stencils for my 1919a4 case. He is a good guy and would be worth contacting. I'm pretty sure he would lend a hand.

Okey I'll step up, It looks great

. How did you finally do it? Might be worth posting a graphic file as a sticky if you did the drawing on computer. Good work.

I used to draw alot when i was younger and still have some tools so it is mostly on the fly,the swastica was traced from a blown up waffen, i was trying to make it close to what a waffenmeister stamp on ww2 stuff looks like

Try this one. Do a silk screen with photo emulsion.
