where to find the templates, and template rules, I suppose? (I have to look for these every time I draw anything in FD, so might be good to add)

I don't know the answers to most questions - so feel free to post both a question and an answer if you have them.

Q. Where is the FD Template?
A. Right here:

FYI: Template is wrong for MS Paint, for that you want Country, Name Class to be Arial 10, and Credit Arial 7, trust me, it's from experience.

[Colosseum]

The template was created for Photoshop canvases with a resolution of 72dpi.

Thank you for that clarification, Ian.

Garbage posts deleted - this is not a thread for asking if a certain vehicle has been drawn in FD scale! Use this thread for questions about the style itself.

What if I wish to draw something that doesn't fit in the template? Or if I wish to draw multiple variants? I've seen a few people place several variants of a vehicle on one image.

In addition to this, what is the spacing (in pixels) when placing variants horizontally and/or vertically?
