TopJimmyCooks:
Chad, I will do the scans and give a link to them, no problem. PBJ, on the boomerang, I'll make a wood template and cut a few out with a router, it should be identical to the original. I'll get your addy when I do it and send one your way.
I'll set up a link to the .ai files for the cabinet stencils as well. They're 97% done, i just want to go back and make sure the first work i did is consistent with the tracing at the end. I know I got faster, I think I got better. The vectors are overlaid over hi res pics of my best cabinet side, so you can judge for yourself.
I'm going to check with pinballpal.com and see if maybe they would consider trading the artwork for credit towards a set of cut stencils. If they don't go for it I'll probably double cut each stencil on bond paper and then use remount spray to stick them on. It will be sharper than the original work which has fuzzy sprayed edges.

Guess it's time to get out the exacto knife then.
On the plastics: I scanned one of the plastics at 1200 dpi. looks nice but takes up 38 MB. how big do these files have to be to be printed successfully later?
TopJimmyCooks:
Heres a 38 MB Winchester for ChadTower. let me know if this works- 1200 dpi. I can run the rest this weekend. Smaller would be easier for me if it works for you. Maybe the DPI will help offset that it's out of focus due to being back printed.

ChadTower:
Heh, since I'm only cutting blank plastics, I don't need DPI. It can be solid black for the time being. It's easier for folks to print their own artwork to adhere because my printer isn't really suited for it. Obviously I'd need artwork for making my own later. I am thinking 600dpi should be just fine but we could get away with 300 DPI depending on whether we want to trace them or just clean them up in Photoshop.
Let me know which plastics could use some protectors (other than the obvious slingshots) and I can cut some of those too.
TopJimmyCooks:
I'll do 600 dpi and you'll be set for just the shape or artwork too if you want it.
