Thanks for posting your find! I just bought one and can't wait to give it a try.

Thanks for all the advice! I used the sharpie approach and think it worked really well. I'm much better at sketching than painting, so the sharpie felt more natural in my hand. Plus, as per screen-used photo references my lines still look hand made and not ultra perfect. Thanks!

Sharpie Marker. Great idea. And I never thought about how a long brush would isolate shaky hand movements. Thanks a bunch! Brent

So I'm finishing up my MRCE mod and need to paint the lines on the tears and back of the helmet. What is the best way to do this? Original screen-used helmets look painted, so my first inclination would be to paint them with a paintbrush. But I'm afraid with my hands the lines wouldn't be too straight/uniform and it would look pretty messy. I've also thought about using vinyl striping. The other issue is how thick are they and how do you get them so evenly spaced. Are there decals? What are my options? Thanks for the tips. Brent
