So, I made this seat for my Digger project a while ago, and a few people started asking if I could do more of those for sale, so I promised to make these templates instead, so you could try making one yourself!
I tried to explain how to put it together, but feel free to ask me if there's any problems! I suggest you use Paint to print them, because that's the easiest program to use. Just go to the page setup, and adjust it to print to 100%. Doing so it comes out at the correct size, which is about the same size as Axial Corbeau seat. Of course you can print it to any size you like!
Here are the templates for aluminum sheet. Plus a small lexan piece for the head padding. You can use something else than lexan too, but use something water resistant so if the seat ever gets wet it doesn't get ruined!
And here's the template sheet for cutting the fabric pieces. You can use what ever fabric you like, or even leather, or both! Use some thick glue, so it doesn't seep through the fabric. That means no super glues!
And this is what it should look like when finished!
Note that I added some extra padding in the seat part so it would look a bit thicker, but that's totally optional!
And here are finally the decals! Get some decal paper and print these out the same way as the templates, and they should come out the correct size. Leave a little white border around the small ones, because that's how they are on the 1:1 seats.
If any questions, feel free to ask!
And if you make yourself one of these, please post some pics here for everyone to see, thanks!cool:cool
