Thanks Rich.
Finished the front red trim on the turtle deck. The process goes like this:
Take a piece of tracing paper, I have an 18' roll, and lay it tightly over the area. I then mark key points like top centerlines and the hatch aft lower corner and use that as a guide drawing a symmetrical pattern. Once I have that done and checked I use carbon paper to transfer the pattern to a piece of posterboard. That is then cut and used to cut the Monokote to size. The pattern is also used to draw the outline onto the turtle deck for use as a border for applying pinholes. Since this is going to be Monokote on Monokote air bubbles are definitely going to be a problem.
Once in place, I used very low heat to set the piece down followed by a heat gun. Worked out pretty good save for one fine wrinkle. I'm definitely not going to tear all that covering off for one wrinkle so, yeah, looks great to me. 8-)
Next up, grey and black stripes on each side.
