pattern making

i hope i`m not being patronising here or trying to teach people stuff they already know... but...

you know the drill, when you`ve removed an interior part and fancy knocking up a plastic/ally (or if your a tart carbon) cover to fill the hole.. just how do you replicate the shape onto a piece of paper (especially if you want to mark fixing holes/curves)

this is what i did for mirror bse plates but the same technique can be used for door + 3/4 cards.. dash inserts...

take 1 random shape..




cover the area in a piece of clean white paper and take 1 dirty finger..




rub away and the dirt will form dark lines where it pases over a definate egde..




1 pattern ready to cut out and transfer onto the material of your choice....



simplez!

Not patronizing at all, this is the kind of stuff were after mate good little tip there, i usually faff about making cardboard templates

Simple but effective...i like it
