Chappeau !
But next time try a stonecutter (steenhouwer). One who makes gravemonuments. They use a cutting plotter to make a cover for the text on monuments. They make these texts by grid blasting the stone.
So in fact the same principle and use as you do with paint.

Hi Wim.. good tip but it's hobby!
Some of us get real safistaction in handmaking such stencilles
Computerized things are often a bit to nice and tight

Gr, Tim

[dirk Peeters]

the problem is for us money
our museum is selfsupporting but we need everycent of it

[der bunkermann]

Yes Dirk, it's not allways easy..
But there is nothing wrong with doing most of the work with friends and colleagues!
You are more proud on what you made yourself than on what you buy..

the roof work continues
But it is hard work
the chimneys are already free

[dirk Peeters]

here the part that is finished

We hope to install remade chimneys and antennas in a few months

[dirk Peeters]

has anyone pictures from the westwall and atlantikwall in the war period where we can see chimneys ?
like to know if they where buried or not
it looks like ours were like all the roof here tar stricken

Hi Dirk , B. Hamilton

[wimve]

I guess that Dirk means a chimney made from bricks.

[dirk Peeters]

now we want to make it like the original....
