Symbol Size?
« on: November 06, 2014, 09:21:50 PM »
Hello all,

I have a question. I'm making a custom of my fanpony out of a baity Sprinkles and was going to have an online lasercutting service make an airbrushing stencil for the symbol so I don't have to attempt cutting tiny pieces with an xacto knife.

Question is, how big do you think I should have it cut? I don't have a ruler precise enough to measure how big the G1's symbols are.

This is the design I need cut:

Has anyone airbrushed symbols on using a stencil? How did it go?

an inch? inch and a quarter maybe? It depends on the G1 really. They all have different sized rumps.

The stencil is a neat idea!  Just keep in mind that pony butts are not flat so it can be hard to get the stencil flat.  Do you have a pic of the bait?

Thanks! I actually got a quote for the stencil last night and while it was only $3 for materials and lasercutting, the shipping was 8 dollars! So I'll try to make my own stencils I guess.

Here's my bait, she's got some cancer spots and some kind of yellow stain goin' on.

Any tips on getting that neck seam to look a little less terrible?

Also! I have her tail still, it's dry-ish but would likely curl well if anyone wants to get it. Just pay shipping :)
