Well, how close do you want me to take the pics ? The top pic was within 18" from the bucket. Do you want me to zoom in on the areas where the decal edges are ? LMK and I can take them tonight.
I must be doing an "o.k." job if you gotta ask LOL
You look like you're doing a great job! You can't even tell from here but what I want is a picture where all I see is helmet.
You know, like an up close shot of where the decal ends to see if you can see a seam? PLEEEEASE?flatspunout

That's what I was thinking Icedevil...I don't understand the painting over the decal part. I've worked with micro-sol and micro-set building stock car models and it is surprising how effective they are at making waterslides lay down and blend in. If the decals are opaque enough I don't see why painting over them would be necessary. Like webchief said some close-ups would be fabulous...I really don't see a difference between the painted and unpainted areas in the pics above, but at any rate its a great idea and you certainly can't argue with the results!

That's awesome...you can't even see the edges. One question tho...how are you blending the differences between the color on the bucket and the color around the damage on the decal? Especially on the dome and cheeks where I'm sure the green on the decal and the green on the bucket itself are noticeably different...make sense?

I think this is an amazing effort. Just a quick question.
When I open up the PDFs I notice they're bitmaps; they're not 300 dots per inch, so it looks like there is a loss of resolution like these were taken with a digital camera. The pixelation of the images will be very obvious up close, unless you used a hi-end 12 Megapixel camera, stood back 5 feet (to reduce perspective distortion) and zoomed in tight.
Also, it looks like they were taken with a flash with indoor photography, so if someone were to use this art, are they not replicating the same lighting as when you took these photo decals?
Finally, is this color calibrated? Each person's printer may interpret the bitmap differently and cause the images the be a different tone than what's intended.
