Title: Looking for Chaos symbols for vehicles (not transfers)
Post by: steders on 16 June 2015, 08:16:10 AM
I want a few of these for my renegade vehicles (a real mix of stuff)

Any suggestions on how to make them.
I know Forgeworld make a brass etched sheet but I don't want that many, I haven't got the skills to sculpt my own. Anyone got any thoughts?

If you print them out then glue them to plasticard using wood glue you should be able to use the image the cut them out with a craft knife. Soak them in water afterwards to loosen the wood glue and paper and you're away.

However, with the many sharp edges of the symbol you've attached this method may be a touch difficult. See if you can get more a more simple chaos symbol. I've used this method plenty of times. If you have an inkjet printer you can also print them on to acetate and just cut them out.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try. We have ink jet printers in the office, I wonder if one of them will work

But the brass etch would probably save you a lot of time.
