    anyone know where to get good gun stencils?
    would prefer if i could also get some to show the detail of a gun such as fire selector etc as im painting my room and am looking for some

    im thinking of tracing guns but i also need some for detail on the guns.
    also anyone know where i can pick up camo netting in the south east? army surplus or hunting shops perhaps?

    thanks to all comments!

    I know its more south then southeast but the army surplus wharehouse midleton did the massive artilery nets for €25 quid they were just huge :)

    twine and burlap then shouldnt be too hard to find those and many people are tempted to use fake leaves and plants but they are often covered in a glossy clear coat:)

    well looking for something abit cleaner than that id say..
    and camo netting seems the easiest way to go with it

    If you have access to an overhead projector (used in schools etc) or a photographic projector (that slides go into) or indeed a computer/home cinema projector (you may be able to rent or borrow) it will let you use an
    image on a slide/transparency/photo to project onto a wall and let you use
    a pencil to trace all the details that you can paint later on.

    You might even attempt to photocopy a picture of a gun onto a transparent film (that can be bought from a stationary shop)
    and place it over the opening of a cardboard box and then use a high powered torch at a hole in the back of the box in an attempt to project a rough image
    onto yer wall (Like the Batman signal!)

    that would work for both a camo pattern idea i have aswell as the gun stencils.
    my idea at the moment is to trace guns onto some wall paper i have and then cut out the inside and add my base colour(probly black) using a roler to the wall... and go from there maybe even having to create multiple stencils for 1 gun
