Title: Looking for someone with Centipede bezel
Post by: Justin on October 13, 2003, 06:24:54 pm

If you have a Centipede Bezel, could you please take several closeup pictures of it and send them to me?  I will vector trace this and post for everyone else.

6-8 shots should be enough, as long as you cover the whole area (I'll put the pieces of the puzzle together)

Thanks!

Yeah, well actually I need something magnified about 6-10 times in order to perform a vector trace  :)

Anyone else out there with a Centipede bezel?

Zorg, do you still have this bezel with you?
Do you think you could take some real good detailed closeups of the top portion where the 3 bugs are?

I'd love to vector trace these  (the harddest part)

Thanks!

OK, here's my first pass at vectorizing one of the Centipede bugs...  what do you all think?

awesome ;)

if all your trace is as good as this one, the bezel will be really clean.

Here is my first shot at the bottom part of the bezel...  need some closeups of a real bezel for a more exact match.
