Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Keep in mind those are too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Kinetic[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Kinetic[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Suggestions on how I can verify that? Using the blu ray SW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagedzi[TK] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome thanks Mathias, I had only just pm'd Eric to find out how it could be changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
