Title: My first stencil
Post by: kevin king on January 04, 2019, 09:40:17 AM
Not really airplane related but I thought I would show this. I have no more patience for cutting and masking with an exacto knife so I picked up a scanncut2. What I like about it is it has a built in scanner. Just scan you're image and it will spit out a stencil in less than 2 minutes. Here I took a photo of American bulldog Rocky and with free photo editing tools I converted it to black and white then added contrast. This shows the stencil that I will use to spray paint the image to a black t-shirt. In the future I will use it to cut vinyls masks for airplanes. Let me know what you think.

That is very cool.  Tell us a bit more about this system like where you got it, how much, etc. H^^

Yeah....Steve's far more "clicky" than I am! n~  Hows the fabulous left coast Steve?  Are you guys still able to fly there?  We got about three feet of snow here, so not getting out so much. H^^

Hahahaha, Glenn! Actually, nice day today...a bit cold here, no sneaux, not windy...but that's today...the weekend was windy and power outages possibly put a crimp on things for the electron burning stunt grunts, but not me! No, no, no, not me! I had the truck full of tree stumps and stuff to take to the "transfer station" (dump), so no bueno for spiffy stunt planes, or even my stunt planes...

Anyhoo, I highlighted the word  "scanncut2", right-clicked on it, and DuckDuckGo brought up 6-8 sources, including prices. Amazon Prime offered a "refurb" for about $180 US. Thanks to my buddy Kev for spelling "scanncut2" correctly! Sometimes, the details matter...   mw~ Steve

It's an American Bulldog Ron. I made this coffee mug too. With all my stunt projects in storage I don't have much to work on anymore.
