  I tried stenciling on 28mm scale (Or whatever) and I always found that however
small I though I was making the stencil, it was still too big for the miniature
(Space Marine Shoulder pad actually)

It probably takes practice, and getting over that belief that I beleave (Allow
myself to introduce myself) most people who read WD has, that the miniature is
bigger then it is. A terrific paint job is designed by means of highlighting and
shading to make the miniature look big, and unless I am holding it in my hand or
next to something for scale, my mind make it bigger

Get over that, and you could probably make good stencils. I just paint my
symbols on.
