November 16, 201114 yr To make a grid... and save Chris the need to post a 12288x4096 grid :)If you are using Photoshop start a 'New' pic @ 50x50 pixels, draw 1 pixel wide a line down the right side and bottom of the 50x50 pixel grid. Color to contrast against the colors you'll need for the paint. This is a single 'cell' of our grid.Use Edit/Define Pattern to create a new pattern from our 50x50, name it GridRed or whatever.Add a new layer to your work, and use Fill (using the pattern fill option) to fill the layer and you'll have a whole overlay grid layer that you can turn on and off at will and will show all over your aircraft. It helps a lot to see whats going on. You can further refine the grid pattern with a few more 1 pixel 'marks' along the 50x50 edges for more accuracy but 50x50 works pretty well for most needs. I've ended up with a few versions of this grid cell pattern in red, black, yellow etc , it shortens the 300 trials to more like 30 :) but there ya go.CheersJohnVanishing point works well too!
