| Hey guys! I saw some rifles in a "Mar-Pat" pattern in this section and was wondering where I could get some templates at. Thanks. |

Something that has worked really well for me is taping painters tape on a sheet of wax paper, glue the stencil on the tape (plain ol' elmers glue), and then cut out the stencil. |
| for quick lettering, I use craft punches into the sticky side of post-it notes. Works well for dragon, flowers, bears, butterflies, leaves, etc... details too. come to think of it, a dot or square punches layed out in a pattern has the potential for an interesting flectarn or digital look. Maybe even painter's tape cut into 1" squares. Trying to think our side the box.... |

I tried some digi yesterday on a piece of cardboard. I used some graph paper with a 1/4" grid. It actually turned out pretty good except I felt like the grid pattern was too big. I made some graph paper in excel and made the boxes right at 1/8" x 1/8". THat looked better to me but I was wondering how big the pixels are on the patterns supplied by Duracoat and Bulldog. Stick, how big are the individual pixels on your patterns that you displayed? Thanks |
I narrowed down my options and finally am gonna go with the extreme digital pattern that bulldogarms has, I'm only wantin to do the rifle in 2 tone, so just the digital striping would look good to me.  In the photo the striping goes diagonal quite a lot, and I'd rather it go more verticle on this rifle so question I have about digital is do you think it matters much if the top straight edges of the pattern are horizontal along the rifle or not? If I straightend the precut striping more verticle they wouldn't be. |

Hey, I havent seen that pic of my FAL in a long time. It only has to look good to you. As long as your happy with the colors and or pattern thats all that counts. Here is a MARPAT done with Bulldog templates on a US Optics SN4: (the photo program was not set right so the light gray looks blue for some reason)
