Decals for Jimmy TLJ FOtK bucket

[AM-1124]

Does anyone have any vinyl decals that go in the black spot for his bucket instead of painting them. The temple spots and black stripe all around?

I assume you've already contacted Jim directly - perhaps he can supply them for you?

 

On an unrelated note ... where did you find this image? This is the first time I've seen what appears to be a 100% accurate TLJ helmet from a full-on profile view and to this scale.

It's from the Anovo site. If you large their photos and open in a new tab, you can zoom in crazy close.

Ah, ok. It must be the Executioner helmet but seen from the non-painted side, then.

Not sure I've ever seen Decals for the bucket. Most people just paint it.

Trooperbay does Decals for the kit but not the bucket.

That's a good idea, actually. If he has access to a particular lid, he can create files for the decals and print/sell them as needed. He's done so for virtually every OT TK lid out there.

That’d save a LOT of time for people doing the Executioner bucket at least since it’s 3 variations of black. Matte, semi-gloss and full high gloss.

Yeah, someone should ping Mike (trooperbay) for sure.  Or, if you give him the dimensions he can prototype it out.

We have a product here called contact it's used for covering school books and files, works quite well for stickers/decals, not sure what the US equivalent would be called, you guys call stuff weird names .

 

Wrap a strip of baking / tracing paper around the helmet, rub with charcoal / pencil over the ridges, remove, cut out and you have a pattern, then copy on to the back of the contact, cut out and done.

 

Could be an option until there are stickers/decals available.

Yeah, I get that but the question is the adding/removing and how well it holds up.  If for just one troop or so not a problem, but if you are doing a few troops a month it may not hold up well.

Has worked well on FOTK armor for a while

I just buy vinyl car wrap off eBay. It's durable, strong and shapes/cuts beautifully.

I have a cutter and heavy duty black vinyl stickers. I was just wondering if someone had a template. But the tracing it on paper and making a template out of that might do the trick

I should but the guys here in AU at TDK Props are doing some amazing work on theirs

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

It would required a fool to buy a Jim helmet when you can get a TDK! You're right on your choice Darren

[Daetrin[Admin]]

First I've seen TDK mentioned. Can someone at least post details in the 501st only area if this isn't meant to be public?

It looks like a pulled down Anovos bucket, can anyone in here confirm this looks similar to the standard line with the beak modified

I thought the same. I've been told the final product won't be like this but it still raises questions. I personally have no issues with anyone at TDK but again I'm a bit apprehensive.
