Python Viper made a ton of pythonized customs using a mesh football jersey as a mask for spraypainting the pattern. He hasn't been on here for a couple of years, but you might be able to find some of his threads that show the process (not sure how many of the images survived different pic hosting site moves, though).

other "stencils" could be expanded metal grating or possibly produce bags (onions or oranges).

He ended up moving away from the jersey method and going back to "lots of tape".

I don't have advice for you, all I can offer is good luck.

all the "dips and wraps" are probably way too big, but maybe a kryptec stencil kit could be found to use with our scale.

maybe one of the scale hobby companies makes one that might work as a base or maybe add 2 together.

i tried googling "python patrol stencil" and no real hits. there was some cupcake/cookie type stencils that had a snake look. so i followed those pics to amazon. there are too man to look through them all. i got smart and just searched for "snake stencil" on amazon.

i really like these, but still not sure how well they would "scale".......get it :rimshot:

this set has some wilder looking scales that might make better PP camo

maybe make a trip to a cake/hobby store to see just how they look in person.

Mmm some of those may work.


Looks like I need to start experimenting.
