I have to ask this.........

Where does one get the sometimes wild graphic that are applied to the Bro's planes I have been checking out??

Another question........
what tools are used to cut some of the monocoat designs I see all over as well?
Cutting mat?
rolling type cutters?
or are most of them cut freehand with a blade??

I want my first profiler to look good and would like any help in making that happen for me.

Go to the Tips and Techniques forum and find a thread about a 3d flag and a flowing checkerboard. Termagator started these threads and is a MASTER when it comes to covering!

no special tools are needed. I use a 24x36 self-healing matt, hobby stores have them, even fabric stores have them. for cutting I use #11 blades and single sided razor blades. I have a 24" metal ruler with cork on the back and a 36" metal ruler with rubber on the back for straight edges. Some of the graphics I do free hand(BUDWIESER KNIFE) some I print out with my computer printer and use as a stencil(PRO BRO). I use a flair felt tip pen to draw on covering cause its water soluable. Go to JASC.com, you can down load trial versions of a program called Paint Shop Pro. I use alot of there lettering fonts.....Good luck....G

I use a sheet of glass to cut on and windex to hold layers of covering down.

I downloaded the program....in the right hands it looks like it could be awsome, but I hate learning new computer stuff.....but I will mess with it while I am waiting for my plane to arrive. Any quick tips to get me started?

I use sharp scissors to cut most of my stuff (like the flames on the Gee Bee).

Cool! I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one to still use good old fashioned scissors
