    Critique Request Bird template, less funny name this time.

    Ain't disputing my screw up here at all, that's understood solidly Sam set me straight on it and I read a bit on it to get a much better idea on where I went wrong. I am looking for technical feedback on the linework for the bird and what I can do differently.

    Critique Request Bird template, less funny name this time.

    So I'm restarting this as I didn't do my due diligence on the photo I used to derive my template, while I did end up using a creative commons image at the time I didn't know that and Sam rightly came down on me. So now that that's resolved and I have his blessing I'm going to put the stuff and...

    I think I'll finish out the LCP and cross reference with the templates on here to make sure I don't duplicate stuff.

    That actually does help a fair bit with regards to my question. Thanks. Now I need to ponder on what guns to choose for the initial release. Recommendations are welcome there too. I think a generalized drawing for $2 that would give the basic of the shape would be reasonable.

    The question I have is what detail would I remove to make a difference in price valuable? Both scale and dimensional accuracy are critical to seeing if your design would fit the media, scaling down the images isn't really a realistic option as it's VERY easy to scale them back up.

    JJ, thanks for the clarification and sharing your method for making templates. I understand why you'd share the method and means to create templates and I greatly appreciate it. I'm not doing anything terribly different, I simply use a couple pieces of software to either trace the flat portions...

    After seeing a couple of the quick and dirty coin templates I ran out for learning a bit about engraving John messaged me and suggested I should consider knocking out a couple templates for firearms. I've taken a bit of a shine to the idea and have ripped out a template for the slide of a Ruger...

    Wasn't sure where you'd want your grid spacing or if you'd remove lettering on the coin, so all text areas outside the primary figure on front and reverse is represented by dashed lines. Thanks for the challenge. Per my personal preference this should print on a standard sheet of paper.

    So I'm still working on teaching myself engraving and using pennies as practice stuff. Since I realized that trying to design on the coin itself was frustrating the heck out of me I scanned a penny and made myself some MUCH scaled up template blanks with a very light grid background. These were...
