john danter Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Has anyone here ever build a GF lid and if so, what and whos decals did you use? Many thanks John Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Never worked on a gf lid - but the best decals in the galaxy are from mike - tk4510 Quote
john danter Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah I know, I'll have to pop on and have a look. The last lot I had didn't fit my SDS as I may have bought the wrong ones Quote
Sonnenschein Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Should'nt the TE ones fit perfectly? Quote

Rich330[TK] Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 If it's ANH, paint it by hand. Quote
john danter Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) TE type should fit yes. Just wondering if anyone ever had any specifics made Edited January 14, 2011 by john danter Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 IIRC AP should be closest to GF, but I could be wrong in that. Quote
trooper18938 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 John, I have a GF hero lid and suit from 2002, but removed the decals long ago and painted the lid. The decals from GF were a brownish vinyl, and the black outlines and lines were die cut vinyl applied on top of the brownish base decal - a 2-layered decal. The overall size of the tear was smaller than the current decals, and the traps were perfectly sized for the lid (which was heavily modded by GF). Mike's decals should do the part, infact I was thinking of reconverting the lid to a ROTJ-era lid, since the cap and ears are so slim. I'll try to find the original decals and post up a pic if you'd like. Quote
john danter Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 Yes please that would be great I do remember the odd 2 part decals but GF has stopped a long time ago. Hence my quest for decals to suit I may paint them on but decals are needed incase I slip Quote
Billhag Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) John As others have said TE/TE2/AP from Mike should fit fine mate and they are far better then the one's that came with the original helmet kit. Here's a pic of my original cheeky little GF Hero that resides in my humble lid collection Personally I'd hand paint them, or at least the traps and tear ducts and then use Mike's Dave.M tube stripes. Are you keeping it Hero?,....and DID you get the rest of the suit? Edited January 26, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
