| Lightweight Interior Templates |
| Some Shoreline Model Raceways Club classes allow the stock interior to be
replaced with a lightweight version (make sure to check the
rules
first). While lightweight interiors are available commercially,
they can also be easily made using common materials such as paper,
overhead transparencies (available at office supply stores) or
thin plastic sheeting. The templates below can be printed on paper and
used "as-is" or transferred to other materials as desired. More
templates are planned for the future so check back from time-to-time. |
| |
| Note: Most printers will automatically adjust
("scale") the material to be printed to fit within the default printer
page margins. The templates must be printed full-size (no scaling)
to fit properly. To override default printer scaling, select
"Printer Setup" from the "File" menu. The setting to be changed
will vary by printer but will typically be something like "Fit to
Printer Margin" or "Reduce to Printer Margins". If so, there should be
an option to turn it off or adjust it. |

| Tip: After printing the desired template(s)
but before cutting them out, take a piece of 2"-3" wide clear packing
tape and place it over the template. This will make the template
more durable without adding any appreciable weight. |
