Hi, I wanted to print my own ESB helmet decals as i think the vinyl kind would be too thick for the smaller markings.. I tried to search.. but could not find any..

Anyone willing to share the templates so i could print them on directly to white water slide decal paper?

Thanks for anybody who is kind enough and willing to help out a newbie

**I will not, in anyway make copies other than for my own bucket**

Have you considered using dry transfer (rub on) letters? It's how the originals were done.
You just need a D, V, :, two E's, and nine capital I's.

If you have any model railroad hobby shops around, a company called Woodland Scenics makes really nice dry transfer letters in a variety of fonts and sizes.
If I remember right, the originals were Letraset letters, but there are very few places in the U.S. that carry them these days.

My measurement says 7mm (0.275583637 inch) or font size 20. This is what I found using the images from the gallery (I used an image recognition program found on the net that can read font types from any image):

This is the image I used to find the font type:



And this is the result using the font type found - Social Gothic Regular:

I'm glad I helped! I plan to do the decals for all six helmets (as I did for the each armor), but will need more time for the kill stripes.
