help with pattern

[tjl232]

can someone make a pattern from this picture please. thank you

[edzbaker]

tjl232,, that is a VERY SMALL picture. Someone might be able to make a pattern of it if it were MUCH larger. A good rule of thumb is, The greater the picture resolution, the better the pattern.

I am not a pattern maker, but I think those who make good patterns will tell ou the same thing. You need a BIG Clear picture.. also JPG is not a god format to work with.

tjl232 Could you tell me if that's a photo, or a copy. It look like it is distorting some ? Capt Barry

it appears to be a scan from a magazine... perhaps the online version of the magazine has a better picture? That one is really too small/grainy to work with easily

I'm embarrassed to even post this, but here is what I could get from such a grainy/small pic. I hope it helps.

Are you looking for a KW tan truck in general or are you looking for the Eagle Tank Line truck specifically?

eagle tank line truck

Liked the truck concept, so here is a 3d model of the tanker part (not finished yet), have about 30 minutes into it so far. This may never be a pattern, with it being a true 3d. Hope to make the cab tonight, and of course the wheel wells on the trailer wheels.

This was done using Silo version 2.2

Thats really impressive for 30 mins eddie. Great job. Someday I'll get back to carving, but Im having way to much fun with my Laser right now.
