animefreak7 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 My helmet is almost done, everything was going smoothly until I goofed on the tube stripes and put them on backwards. Obviously I'm going to have to peel them off and put on a new set. Here is my question though: I happen to have an extra set of tube stripes that I ordered from trooperbay before I got my build, they are a bit thicker than the stunt tube stripes provided, and I also recieved a set of Hero decals with the helmet as well. The ones I had previously are on the left and the ones on the right are the hero stripes that came with the kit. The hero stripes that I recieved are thicker than the stunt stripes I recieved with the kit, and the ones I have just lying around are thicker than both of those stripes. I checked the CRL over on 501st.com and I didn't see anything about tube stripe thickness just as long as it's between 9 and 13 stripes which it should be once on the helmet. So would I be alright to use either of these sets of decals to replace the stunt ones I screwed up? Or did I just miss a line that said something about how thick the tube stripes should be?I'm hoping for a quick response as I wanted to have my armor done in time to bring it to a convention to show my friends here in the next two weeks so if I need to get in contact with the maker of my kit to have new ones shipped out I need to do it soon or I'm not going to have the tube stripes in time. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote
Nagedzi[TK] Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 They both look fine to me. There was a good deal of variation in ANH helmets since the tube stripes were originally painted on (unlike the other two films). I say pick one set and go for it. Quote
pattrooper Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 Do a lot of photo comparisons and just pick the look you like because both look good to me also. post pics when done your bucket. Quote
SCTrooper[TK] Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 I would go with the ones on the right side. They look about right, are they about 16 mm wide? the ones on the left look to wide. Quote
animefreak7 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Posted September 1, 2013 Decided to go with the hero set that came with the helmet. I liked the way the thinner ones looked. Thanks for the help. Quote
