Fairing drawings

**Indiana_Jones** · 13th February 2007, 10:27

Hiya guys, just having a quiet patch at work, so I went over the out lines of a CBR250 fairing.

Just saying, if your thinknig about doing a new fairing scheme etc and want some fairings drawn up, give post me a pic/drawing and i'll draw it up when I have a boring patch etc.

edit: yea that one is abit rough lol, I followed the zoomed in lines to closey and when i scaled it up, it came out bollocks.

Use Live Trace in Illustrator on a picture and it'll do it for you

You've just done indy out of a job... and you could have waited a few weeks before you pointed that out -just when he was getting good...

You never have 'quiet' patches, Indy. Have you finished with the tasks I gave you? And why are you surfing KB during working hours? I'll see you in my office after lunch!

Definition of a really quiet patch - looking up a thread about someones doodling during a quiet patch. Need action now... bored.

All I can say is beware of designing something 3d on a 2d surface. It will look and fit differently.

Ain't that the truth! The amount of compromises you have to make is astounding... the japanese fluro stripey graphics might look crap to some, but designing something better, and then actually applying your design is something else again.

You realise that by, once again, perusing unauthorised websites during working time, you are at serious risk of disciplinary action? Back into my office - NOW!
