KO22[TK] Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I used these templates by printing them out and then cutting out some tape. it was a little messy but it did the job. I wasn't able to get all of the stripes on so a settled for 11 as any more didn't look very good. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=14867 As far as color I used this thread to help me. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=8117 I hope this helps!

Valgars[TK] Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You can get them from trooperbay. Just under $7.00us. He also has the "Hand painted look" decals which are now acceptable for centurion if I read right (grunts and says it should have stayed hand painted but I don't have Tk digits so I didn't throw in my 2 cents).

G5Captain Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I did the Trooperbay stencils and they worked great. He also sells all four colors of Humbrol paint that you will need for the kit as a set. I also agree that it should be hand painted for Centurion. Its not that hard.

HawkTrooper Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 The teeth could use a little more trimming, but overall it looks just fine to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_Duke Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ok cool, ill take some more off the teeth. More pictures to come in the nrxt day or so when I have done more to it. I just got all the correct colors of paint and im going to hand paint " old school" the helmet :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potty Meister Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I agree for the teeth. trim a bit more. I used testors paint and the trooperbay stencils on mine. Had to do a bit of cleanup on the tube stripes, but it's nothing a toothpick and some thinner can't handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyone Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) i You can get them from trooperbay. Just under $7.00us. He also has the "Hand painted look" decals which are now acceptable for centurion if I read right (grunts and says it should have stayed hand painted but I don't have Tk digits so I didn't throw in my 2 cents). i applied the suggested Trooper Bay AP version on my ATA helmet and i think it's not the right one.. this left sticker is different from the shape (pov of the observer: left) (right, looks better) I think the SDS version should be better because the two stickers are different as the above shape on the helmet http://trooperbay.co...-helmet-decals/ Edited August 19, 2012 by skyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valgars[TK] Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You may want to consult one of the more senior members here on the FISD. If I'm not mistaken ATA has TE/TE2 lineage I'm not sure which sticker set would work best for ATA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
