Ya mad b*ggr!

Thanks!

[Steve Underhill]

Was it ok?

[Gareth.Lewis]

No, but I was a bit scared to say.

I was really looking to plonk an unwrapped one into a vector of an ice cream (cone). Any ideas?

Thanks

[Steve Underhill]

You want to put a flake into an ice cream cone,
as in a 99?
IE just the chocolate?

[Gareth.Lewis]

Yep,.

But, actually, it is to go in a cup. I said ice cream to keep it simple. A customer of mine is selling ‘Cadbury hot chocolate with cream and flake’ so wants a cup with a flake coming out the top on his price list as realistically as possible (made out of vinyl).

It gets no stranger, I promise.

[Steve Underhill]

be right back

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Can you not just stack a bunch of thin rectangles, varying the thickness a bit, then add a contour?

Damn I wish we had ice cream cones with a chunk of Flake on em here…
Had one in London.
Or even Flakes for that matter!
(the chocolate kind)
My Scottish friend mails me some every Christmas, and I send her root beer.
Love….Jill

[Steve Underhill]

Root beer tastes like germolene,
Nice swap. 😮

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Yup…I hate root beer.
I brought Rob some tho, he likes the stuff too.
Must be a Scottish thing.
Love…..Jill

[Steve Underhill]

Actually I havent ever tasted germolene to check, but the smell is pretty similar, maybe people who drink it dont get sore throats?

[Chris Wool]

what no clotted cream and nuts.
a westcountry 99 delux.

[Steve Underhill]

Here it is.

Steve,

I downloaded it but unfortunately I am missing vinyl stock of 88 of the 90 shades of brown that are present in your vector.

Any chance of something a bit simpler, seeing as you seem to have your teeth into this so to speak…

[Steve Underhill]

Couldn’t you just make some of the shades the same as the others?

Crikey, first of all he was scared to reply now he wants me to draw it!

If you like I have a few shades of chocolate brown as I’m doing a chocolate shop at the minute, want me to nip down and cut it for you?
Its only just past midnight, where do you live I could drive it up. :lol1:

[Gareth.Lewis]

I also downloaded that one, it has 9 shades of brown. I have 2 in stock. What can I do to simplify the colours? Maybe lt brwon, dk brown, black and beige would do it.

[Steve Underhill]

Gimme 5 mins

she did too… all the way from the USA. 😛
She gave me it up in Callander, Stirling last year! really brings memories of being over in Los Angeles back to me. 😀

[Gareth.Lewis]

Steve! Steve!

I’ve done it, sorted! The simplified version works like a dream! Thanks for your assistance.

Gareth (one happy man)

[Steve Underhill]

Ok
nice one, I was just starting to weld together various bits of the flake to get 2 colours, I had black for the end of it and 2 shades of brown on main bar.
Glad its sorted

[Gareth.Lewis]

Here they are if you would like to see…
