TJoling Posted March 30, 2015 Hi all, When I'm designing the exterior of the vehicles I build, especially when it's a scale model of a real life vehicle, I tend to draw the contours on a piece of paper and put a grid over it see how every detail should be positioned. Although there are a lot of fancy computerprograms like photoshop which can do this for you digitally, I tend to do it on good ol' paper And I figured I may not be the only one who thinks photoshop is too complicated to do such a simple task, so I made a couple of pdfs and put them in a shared folder for you to enjoy too link In the folder you will find 4 files: a grid the size of 1x1 plates and a grid the size of 1x1 studs, both available in A4 and A3 printsize. Good luck with them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legononymous Posted March 30, 2015 I'll give this a shot. I've been working on a minifig scale 64 impala for my sigfig...with no luck.Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilstorm Posted March 30, 2015 I always draw my creations too, I just do it on some millimeter paper. To me it is much easier than using any of the Lego construction programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted March 30, 2015 I am terribly inaccurate! I just sketch out ideas when I have no chance to build and then create as I go (With a helmeted Crash Test Dummy figure as the prototype pilot/driver!) The best I get is graph paper for a build-sketch that is going to live on a baseplate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanyuppie Posted March 30, 2015 When I was a kid.. I did the same by drawing lego castle using 2 point perspective . Well, thats it. I was fun for a while but my drawing was never meant to be materialised using lego bricks (it would probably need more than 10,000 parts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
