Tank top greeblie - white circle

[spyder918]

Hey scouts, wondering how some of you painted the white circle on the tank topper?  Freehand?  Did you use some kind of template?

I was thinking of maybe getting these below..just not sure if the size is correct though.

The easiest way for me personally would to be use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-TD1204-Circle-Master-Template/dp/B000KNJQRK/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_229_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=11EGP1Z4WH1PYB4J4MF0

Basically plastic stencils, and should be moderately flexible. You could also reuse it for any other circles.

You could also trace a dime, or something similar in size, and be guided by that trace. (I think the dot is around a size of a dime, a tad larger then those abdominal masking templates.)

Check out this forum as well:

It has some helpful information. Best of luck!

I did the dime-tracing

did mine freehand

I do mine with a cut out stencil, use  thin, "hard" carboard, use a metal punch to "punch out" the shape, I then use an airbrush to spray white

Right..I was thinking of using one of these too but how?  Use it to cut out a hole to make a template or?

That is what I was thinking, or you could just use it directly AS the stencil/template. As in, putting in directly ontop of the tanktop, and painting it. Sorry for the unclear explanation, I hope you can get this sorted.
