Okay....here's my situation. I posted about this in the Marvel section, but I feel I might attract some talented folks in this forum.

I discovered a thread in the Bowen section of statueforum.com about a group that does custom chroming commissions. Anyway, I figured I'd send a Silver Surfer Mighty Mugg their way and see if I can get it chromed.

So I just scored a Silver Surfer to do this job. However, the paint apps are going to get covered with chrome.

I was wondering: can anybody make me a mockup/template that I could use for re-painting the details?

You know how they make stencils with designs on them? Kinda like a jack-o-lantern stencil. Needless to say, I was hoping someone could make a mugg-sized silver surfer stencil that I could send to the chromers, so that they can spray on the face and other details. I think that's all you really need to preserve the look and feel of a Mighty Mugg that has been chromed.

What do you guys think? Anybody willing to put something together with the Surfer's detail, along with a detailed grid of what should be what color.

I know it's kinda confusing to explain. I just hope somebody can help me. Thanks guys!

Thanks in advance guys!

Does anybody have a scanner that they could scan in a high-quality image of the Surfer Mighty Mugg box from the front and side profile? I figure I'll piece it together and make the stencil from that. Thanks in advance gang!

I scanned this in at 300dpi. Hope it helps. If you want I could redraw the whole thing in Illustrator. Let me know.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!

In order to make a stencil, I think we need to make a cut-out of the details and make that area transparent. I would probably keep the white eyes intact, though, so the chromers know where they go.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is going to be awesome!

Sincerely,

Your friendly neighborhood Gremlin

Can anybody scan in the board for me? I'd like to make a stencil for that, too.

Okay....what do you think of this? I still need a scaled scan of the board, though.
