can a pic be prineted full scale.....

[daywane]

OK I know I can print a poster full scale. Am I making this to simple. I was wandering if some one sent me a photo of a Ms Pacman and I printed it out at the proper height and width on card stock. Would I not then have a template to cut out my plywood?
seems to simple to me. some thing was to be a miss or it would be done already.
I was thinking of editing out everything on the pic. except the arcade. Find out just how tall she is from top to btmm of the arcade.
then measure the widest part. Tell my printer to print that size. Past the card stock together. Trace the card stock onto plywood and cut it out.

Why not just use the cabinet plans from Jakobud. They're sure to be more accurate.

Theoretically, yes, if you know that the photo is perfectly dead on.

I have the plans.
have you ever made one from scratch? ( not being smart  )
I am intimidated about the curves, I think a templet would be much EZer

What I'm saying is; print out the plans at full size. That will yield better results than a photo.
