Did you apply blur filters on these two examples? Which program did you use? A small blur can enhance the appearance but it won't bring in more detail (as you see in the hair sheet). On the first picture you can also see that it mixes the color of the part and the white background on the borders of the part, which could lead to strange effects on your builds.

If you want the lines to be without the small edges, you have to draw them in a program which supports anti aliasing. Or you just draw in high resolution in which the edgy appearance doesn't stand out as much, this might be the easiest way as you are used to the program.

I understand.
so the burs will print strangely?
you said to run gimp from a flash drive, doe gimp support anti-aliasing?

I did a surface blue from paint.net on the hammerhead
and then a half stretch of the darker Kong hair, and then softened it.

No it will print as you see it. But compare the darkness of the gray in the middle of the part vs. on the border - there is a difference.

Yes, GIMP supports anti-aliasing. But I can't comment on the flash-drive possibility.

just as long as it isn't a smooth gradient of dark gray to black like on the cannon gorilla, and looks like a hair pattern, I will be happy, I tried a ghili suit strip type hair but it was murder trying to glue it on. folding the sheet one way in little vertical strips gives it light reflection. and the hair looks pretty good, still a paper model, but taken very far. a black tip marker hides the joins pretty good.
I noticed the grayness on the edges like you said, if it is too much I will try to paste in new layers from the middle.
thanks again for all your help!

re drew this into a smaller version, and building it, so a nice fat trex can be presented.
still working on these! even on the kong!

There is a portable version of Gimp which can start from a stick.
