I guys, I realized star and number 20 starting from massimo's color drawing profiles. Here the step by step procedure I use to do it:
Getting images from Internet (Massimo courtesy):
Cut out of the image by Microsoft Office Picture Manager, paying attention at the length from spinner starter crank to tail light:
Printed obtained image and "brute" comparison with scale drawings (sheet behind):
Image imported to Inkscape and resized, mantaining aspect ratio, for length of 183,5 mm (I assume this as scale correct length..IMHO):
Resizing the whole sheet with the same dimensions of the image box (otherwise is difficult to export in Rhino only the images; entire sheet is exported):
Then the file was saved as .PNG to import in Rhino.
Another quick check to the dimensions...
Image elaborated in Rhino with profiles of number 20 and star:
I made two kind of number 20. I tried to obtain correct numbers profile mantaining a constant offset (2,2 mm measured on the printed image). Azure lines on the background color profile are the first step, "A" and "B" numbers are the result.
Number 0 is in two different shapes: "A" zero profile is obtained straight from picture, but I think is too squared...
Then I made a second 0, the "B" one using the round top of number 2. Checking at photos of white 20 (

What do you think about, guys?
Many thanks in advance for your impressions and comments.
Ciao!
