Re: "Officially I'm Broke"

Good set of build pics :thumbsup: Pro work there - If not a trade secret, what do you programs do you use for artwork capture and generation? to re-create a decal all you really need is a good picture and the measurements of it. there are plenty of ways to do it but the way i prefer is to re-draw i...
