mchale, MS Paint is very limited and I really recommend you try using something else.

Paint.Net is free, small and very easy to use. There is also loads of plug ins and other tools you can use with it. Give it a try.

www.paint.net (http://www.paint.net/)

NS : Keep in mind if you download Paint.net you will need .NET framework too.

Usually for flames I either just free hand draw them onto the model or I will draw them on cardstock then cut them out and trace the pattern. You can google, "flame stencils" and get allot of good pictures of flames to look at to get ideas.

What is that? A '66 GTO?

I did a quick Photoshop assuming it's something similar. If that's what you're looking for mchale, I think I can make a line drawing that prints correctly from MS Paint.

Cool beans. I forgot to ask, do you want the "MM" graphic on there, or just the flames?

Okay I've got just the flames drawn. Can you measure your model to about where the red lines are on the picture I attached? Then I will know how to scale it.

Or if you know the scale of the model car you are building I can put a few sizes on a sheet; one of them should be close.

It is 1/24th scale

Hopefully one of these will work. When I converted from BMP to PNG to post on here it changed the resolution a little but not much. The entire image should fit on one page, if not just set the margins in Paint a little smaller. You can also try page scaling if you want them a little larger.
