Dan,

As you probably already know, I am not a pattern maker nor do I pretend to be. I am, however trying to learn. I thought it would be fun and challenging to attempt to make a pattern from you photo. the car is quite nice in the photo. I do not know how to make islands nor fill in the areas that should be black,yet. I posted my efforts and they show on the 'home' page. I am doing this because I thought that if I made a pattern and then looked at the ones that someone else with experience sends for you to cut. I could compare mine and hopefully obtain a little knowledge for my next feeble attempt at making patterns. I have not tried to post an attachment before so I am not even sure if it will come across. but I do know that you can find in on the icons on the home page. thanks for letting me try.

Heppnerguy, That is a great start on the pattern. There is a pretty good tutorial here http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/scroll-saw-design-tutorials/17249.htm

 

 

If you need further help, holler.

There are to many out there, if this picture was taken of your own car, that might be different.  Support a pattern maker and you'll have it forever, to sell as many cuttings as you like.
