Beautiful looking lid my friend!

thanks! I'm up to the stenciling/decals at the moment. Having a lot of problems with the D and V on the right ear and the double E s on the left ear. any ideas? I'm using some decadry no 8 dry transfers 6mm. They look a little small though....

The original decals were made with Letraset Dry Transfer and the font name is Folio Bold Condensed around 7.6mm (28pt font size in any text editor). Read more here ==> Letraset Dry Transfer Font - Folio Bold Condensed; at the end of the first post you can find a letraset replica file in PNG format (set to transparency) and if you can print this out on transparent, sticky sheets, then you will have your own 'letraset' decals. You can check out this thread too ==> All Boba Fett Helmet Decals

By the way, that helmet looks better and better!

Man! you are incredible! I always thought the dry transfers were woodland scenics, but I think you are spot on with the Letraset! Anyway, I decided to use your templates as a guide, and used my existing dry transfers on some clear decals to make up the shapes. I then cut the decal out and placed them in position. Not perfect, but good enough for me...

It looks good, just do some fine weathering by scratching the letters with a sharp object (needle, knife or whatever tool you have) and you're good to go with those ear. Excellent job so far!

 

[dinkydarth]

Visor on, more details on the ears, splattering done... now begins the slow process of detailing....

 

[hobbit057]

Very nice my friend! At least all the hard the work is behind you. And a beautiful helmet you have there my friend!

 

[dinkydarth]

weathering, very tedious....

 

[RafalFett]

Looking good! Keep it coming!

Thanks! It's been fun. I'm not sure about what's next. I've done a Vader and a Stormtrooper already... I might think about a SuperTrooper, but for now I'm gonna take a little break. I look forward to seeing your's finished!
