At 3.50, you should be happy if it'd end up looking roughly circular! :P<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, do you think it would be worth painting every stone separately to make them stand out more? It looks like a lot of work :P.<br /><br />And I am pretty sure there have been researches done that prove your point about straight lines being easier to spot. They are "unnatural" and should be avoiding at camouflaging :P.Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-31211824543326631082014-04-27T21:02:40.254+01:002014-04-27T21:02:40.254+01:00Top job on that.
