In Response To: Strip: Another Lofting Question (John Straatsma)

I put a lightbulb under a glassplate (table in the livingroom) and put the folded paper on top. That was easy and precise.

: Actualy this is a post lofting question. I am nearly done lofting the forms
: for Nick's Guillemot double (not a bad process once you have done a
: couple) now I am wondering what is the best, most accurate method of going
: from the half forms I now have to the full form. I know that I flip the
: sheet to make the other side but how then do I draw it? I have thought
: about carbon paper or cutting on the line and drawing around the cut out.
: Each of these seems to have some room for error. What works for you guys?
: THANKS
