AM-1124 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 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.

MStalkid[TK] Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) It's from the Anovo site. If you large their photos and open in a new tab, you can zoom in crazy close. Edited September 15, 2017 by MStalkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Ah, ok. It must be the Executioner helmet but seen from the non-painted side, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO[TK] Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 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.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yeah, someone should ping Mike (trooperbay) for sure. Or, if you give him the dimensions he can prototype it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO[TK] Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I just buy vinyl car wrap off eBay. It's durable, strong and shapes/cuts beautifully.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM-1124 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 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 trickSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The5thHorseman[TK] Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 It would required a fool to buy a Jim helmet when you can get a TDK! You're right on your choice Darren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
