I wanted to replicate this crosshair/reticle image seen below.
Thanks to Ofnuts suggestion, I was able to do so with the nice Python plug-in that he recommended called, "Dial-Marks".
As you can see it came out really nice, nearly perfect.
This was a rather complicated thing to replicate, due to the different size lines and dashes needed to recreate it.

Look...

Thanks you guys. :bigthup
It wasn't easy. I had to make about 8 different dials for this image to look right. I'm very happy with the results.

Thanks K1! :bigthup
Incidentally, the reticle image I replicated is a screenshot I took while playing the game World of Tanks.
I pointed my tanks gun at the sky to try and get the best possible image of the full reticle.

Wallace, that is "genial". When will I be able to do something like that? You have so many abilities and talent. :bigthup :coolthup

Thanks Issabella.
The image I recreated came out well, but I wouldn't describe it as being "genial".
I was having much difficulty at first, but I had to find the correct tool for the job. If it wasn't for Ofnuts suggestion to try the "Dial-Marks" plug-in, I may have never been able to recreate the image.
