Could you put a nose cone on that 10 sided tower for a '50s style rocket?

yes a point could be added to it it would be the same as the sides a series of flat pannels to make the cone
it would be one fat rocket

A spider web pattern would look more fantasy than circles...
now that is a great idea

So i was looking at white dwarf and there was this neuron flyer, see image

http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3060022a_2xl.jpg

i was looking at the hexagons and the flames and thinking about how they did it. As i wanted to replicate it on my models

and i had an idea while i was thinking about it, air brush templates. I could laser cut them in 2mm mdf so anyone can paint this without having to cut out hexagons from a printed template.

I kept thinking about this and i am coming up with a range of spray paint/ air brush templates for war gamers to use

starting with hexagons and a few other simple shapes to test the market.
What do you think is anyone interested in this?

Like these ones: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1828606900/ttcombat-presents-snappy-stencils

Those guys seem to have done quite well with them, but I think the rigidity of the MDF spoils the effect on curved surfaces.  Both Critical Mass Games and Anarchy Models do similar products in vinyl or cardboard I think, which has the benefit of being pliable, and you can fit it to the model snugly before spraying.

Yes someone else had pointed the kick starter out to me, should of done some research first oh well, will just have some competition i was thinking the same about not being able to curve it. Got some flexible stuff to try it on

Leon

There must be a market for them, the amount of money those guys have generated shows people like the idea.  It's a very simple concept as well, and easy to manufacture on the machine.

So here are the first few template ideas
Of course there are some hexagons and a bunch of random ones (some need a bit of work)

as suggested by  Wulf  a spider web is more suited for the tower so i have replaced the circles with a web

O Dinas Powys

Once again, very nice.

Would you be able to rescale the fantasy cottages - and the church on your website - to 10mm? Well, the tower too really  ;)

Cheers,

Does the church come with a 4th wall? And possibly even a roof...
