Making good Masking

[Green_Elite_Cab]

GEC, in my experience, all you have to do is lift the cover on your copier/scanner, put the body or car or whatever on the glass, and press COPY. You should get an image you can use. If you're concerned about whether it shrank too much to be useful, simply measure the image vs the body. If there's a percentage difference, scan the thing to a jpg and then enlarge it by the applicable percentage in the Windows photo manager. Then print that out.

The contrast was almost to high in the scanner. I can barely make out the lines, but I have a new idea. I could hold a piece of paper on the model, and then lightly shade over it. the raised areas should shade darker than the not raised area, and may even emboss the "shape" of the rain gutter into the paper. I can then make a pattern to cut the trim film decal that way.
