cutting mesh?

HEY,
Is the mesh the right size though. Im building a car so the mesh is pretty small, small enough that i think you may have a bit of trouble seeing through it on a door.

For mesh I have scrap piece of the wire mesh used on screen doors and windows. With this one scrap piece I could do hundreds of models. I cut to a rough shape with a pair of small scisors and use a keen blade to shape it exactly right. And if I mess it up...I just throw it away and start over again. Plus it looks more realistic than the "thread-like " mesh that comes with models these days.
Hope this helps...good luck.

hahahahhahah, smartaleck.....

HEY,

My uncle to his mother:" Hey ma its on Bay Street"

Why back in my day we'd take a young whipper-snapper like you and...

Actually what's scary is my grandpa used to do that... I think he really heard what they were saying but would answer something else to irritate us.

Grandma: "Hey, Alvin called from his office downtown"

Grandpa: "What??? The post office burned down?"

<cut scene to ensuing argument between the two about getting his hearing checked again>

HEY,
I already stole her sewing scisors, she needed new ones anyway. Oh, did i forget to mention that i had to buy her new ones after i got paint on the old ones?lol Did you hear that? Just wanted to make ure your hearing aid didnt go bad. I SAID YOUR HEARING AID NOT QUEER MAID!!!!!!!!lol Thanks guys.

Randy

haha that was great RustyFord... I saw your post about the old guns group build.

yeah just make sure your scissors are sharp... otherwise the cut might be uneven or frayed... I find those fingernail type scissors work good. If ya can, use your mom's best sewing scissors... that should do it.

(I did that once...... ONCE.)

Dubix all i can say is... try a white outline with paint after cutting your stencil. like with white "chalk" or something, then use good scissors.. and free hand it... like cutting a circle when you were a KID in playschool with little "Young Gun" scissors, yah know the ones that were green for righties and red for lefties.....

HY,
Thanks alot.

A new blade and cut it on a piece of glass, or a pair of kitchen scissors will cut it easily.
