 I tried stencil this weekend an I liked it ! I had to look for it though,
 I don't use drill a whole lot. I used stencel to add disk surfaces to
 the sides of a nosecone and then mapped my emblem to these surfaces.
 Then I went into text got my lettering "0 8" and used thest to stencil
 a number on the missile doors. This allowed me to number the object and
 use color, eliminating a bitmap. Lastly I used a disk  on the nosecone
 from the Z axis and it resulted in a nice rounded tip on the nosecone
 that I only had to change the color again. I liked the way Stencil
 put the disk shaped surfaces on the round surface of the nosecone. I
 had to play with it some as this was my first pass at it. I quickly
 learned that it will apply the new polygons to hte front and back surfaces.
 this was great for the nose cone but not the missile doors. I simply selected
 the front polygon on the doors and that worked fine. It is also a very
 handy modeling tool. As it was I that opened op the DECAL thread I forwarded
 this to the LW list to let everyone know that it worked. While it is not
 the same as doing it in Imagine, it has added value in some instances.
 The fact that it makes it's own polygons is nice. Now Stenciling the numbers
 worked well because I did not have to worry about the area within the "0"
 being filled with the bitmap. What resolution is suggested when making
 bitmaps to use with stencil ? If I use hires laced I get short fat images
 to trace, and Map lowres laces is long and short. I scanned in the sharks
 mouth fron a WW II fighter, set it as background made a custom object(traced
 in modeler), but my bitmap did not map properly. Thanks to you and all that
 helped on ths decal thing. Now I have a severe problem "I CAN'T STOP"
