dtrippler Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I didn't want to freehand these so I made a template Sized and set up in Illustrator and cut on my vinyl plotter. Could of just used the vinyl but my black vinyl is glossy and I didn't like that look. I think they turned out good and am happy with it. PM me if anyone is interested is getting one of these templates. I don't have a cost set up for these yet but would be happy to trade for patches or coins
comm tech Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Came out looking really good. Just FYI i used the black shiny vinyl and once you spray a final matte finish over it it looks good, but I agree, that before that it was way off. Good job
dtrippler Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Yeah the other decals on the helmet are vinyl and had shine to them, there's just something about the painted look I prefer. I actually thought about removing the other decals and making templates for those to paint but already did a flat matte spray and the glare is gone, so it's fine.
Death Recon Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah the back hash marks have been off my helmet for a while (I cut them out and painted the inside black, you wouldn't even notice now) Great job on the tear drop stencil, im probably going to hve to sand blast my whole armor and redo my tank ad repaint so I might get ahold of you for the stencil (I free drew min on)
Arakus Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 If you have any more stencils available, I would love to buy a pair from you. I had to shelf my Kashyyyk Scout project for a bit after a couple unsuccessful attempts at freehanding the lines.
