Looks great. Out of curiosity, where do you scale / adjust the templates? Do you do it in Silhouette Designer or in something like Photoshop first?

Hi mate I do it in silhouette using the grid as reference for dimensions, its not accurate but its good enough,

Looks awesome! As tedious as the panels are, the mandibles aren't much better...
Well at last after 14 attempts Im happy with the back panels, still some work to do on them but nearly finished, Ive started roughing the greeny blue up with some course wire wool to break that poster paint look and theres some areas still to be painted, then onto the dome I think, hooray something different to paint, I might have to take a break as Ive got to finish my Destiny hard light everybody wants to know when its gonna be ready so i might go back to that then resume the bucket when I'm finished.
Just a quick update, I got the back panels finished, just needs some more scratches and weathering, I put the base colors of the dome, lower cheeks and the upper, and some weathering on the lower cheeks before the damage, i did my kill stripes but unfortunately I had 2 3d printers on the go and kept checking them went back to my killstripes and took the masking off before I put the orange down ahhhhhhh!
So next will be the killstripes, again!

oh a couple of pics of the back panels weather slightly,
Also for the dome color, I used humbrol green 78 as suggested mixed with a windsor newton blue acrylic, toned down with white then tamiya field grey added, this was used for the base then dusted with the humbrol green 78, then compound rubbed making it patchy and faded in areas.

lol this is actually stressing me out lol, once I've finished painting the bucket ill be able to do the stencils, I'm just working and sizing as i go, but I'm saving the files as i go so i should be able to make a few sets

the kill strip stencils came out really well, but they have to be cut and placed individually to compensate for the curve
