I’m having a hard time with the templates, specifically transferring them on to the helmet.
What kind of transfer paper do you use? I’m in the U.K. so ‘wax paper’ is just baking paper here, I have graphite paper but it’s a nightmare. I have to press quite hard for the lines to show up, then of course I have dark pencil lines that won’t come off and graphite everywhere from leaning on the paper.
I can’t get my head around *how* everyone does this seemingly so easy?
On a similar subject, (ultimately the answer to this question is obviously subjective) but in general: how much detail should I be going for with these templates? (RafalFetts). Are they just supposed to be used to get the general layout of the damage patterns or do people try to copy every little detail?
I can paint the masking fluid on in quite high detail but as I say, getting the actual marks on to the helmet seems impossible to me using the transfer paper method.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
