Jorran Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 The new Centurion requirements for ANH stunt helmets state that "Tears/traps should be hand painted or use decals that emulate hand painting" (emphasis mine). This last phrase leads me to assume that there are some decals that do emulate hand painting and some that don't. I'm going to be ordering my helmet next week and the seller informed me that it does not come with decals. This is my very first kit and I don't trust myself with hand painting at this point - but I'm also building with an eye towards Centurion and would like to make sure that the bucket meets those requirements as closely as possible. Who sells decals that are acceptable for this Centurion requirement? Thanks in advance! Quote
matt black Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) TK-4510 is who you seek. Take a good look at his site. Fantstic stuff and he is a pleasure to deal with to boot. ----- I used the Dave M decals myself. Edited December 4, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote

Garbz[TK] Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Can you paint over(trace) the black lines with a brush and paint? ya know... kinda give it a more human touch look? Also, can you paint over(trace) the blue tube stripes? Quote

john danter Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah you can I guess I tried it bit felt the outside edges were always too perfect (as it's a decal) sadly I didn't take any pics. Also it looks odd if you then try and make the outer edge look hand painted as it's got a weird 2 tier effect I used a sharpie pen but paint might be better That said, if you can paint that well, just go for it I did the black border first Then grey inside I used a draftsmans bow pen for the lines 2 strips of masking tape and a ruler to do the lines Peeled off the tape Covered up the bleeds with 2 horizontal swipes of grey Simple Quote
