Good job fella
I had a first look at these in the flesh on friday and didn't like the snake effect stripes at all. Just a cheap print job . . .
What happened to texture??

Do you have a good tip for getting the masking tape under the stripes, under the zig zags I mean?

When I did forests I didn't even mask them, just pushed paper up underneath the zig zags.

Yeah. Paper under the zigzags does it

Great work Jesper! Did you build up the surface with a few layers?
