Tesla Kinetic[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 So I cannot afford to buy one, anyone have a template for making a paint mask for the helmet stripes? Quote

Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Keep in mind those are too wide. Quote
Tesla Kinetic[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Posted October 9, 2013 Keep in mind those are too wide. Are they? Any guide you know of that *is* correct, Mathias? What should the width be? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 If memory serves me right, those are about 20 mm wide when printed correctly, and a more accurate width is around 16 mm. Quote
Tesla Kinetic[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Posted October 9, 2013 Suggestions on how I can verify that? Using the blu ray SW? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 You'll just have to look at proportions and find what looks right. Mike Appling (trooperbay) did a lot of research of things like that for his decals and I think his are about 16 mm as well. There is some more discussion about this here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/24261-lemaxims-rs-pvc-anh-stunt-build-rs-wip/page-5 Quote
Nagedzi[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Keep in mind those are too wide. Yup, I followed those size recommendations and they turned out too wide. Thankfully, judicious use of a toothpick allowed me to get them down to a more acceptable width. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Yes the stickers I received from trooper bay are 16mm wide. Be great if we could change to dimensions in that tutorial Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 I went ahead and changed the measurement mentioned. It'll be up to the user to print it to the right scale. Quote
