Helmet Stripes

[Sleezy]

Is there any way you could make an ROTJ template, TK-409? That's exactly where I am on my helmet progress, and I don't want to screw it up. Thanks.

Yep, I'm doing that one next.

 

[Sleezy]

Woo hoo!

My idea of the stripes are a military ranking. Which might imply the difference in colors. To, me it looks light three different shades of yellow/orange. Starts yellow, then a more yellow/orange and then a darker orange. Colors are given by RS in the ESB Colors page.

Here's a photo of how the kill marks template worked out on the Mystery Helmet. I was happy with it. I had to touch it up a little because of a tiny bit of "underspray" leaking through the template because I didn't have it taped down tight enough, but now it looks pretty good. I think the proportions turned out well too. What do you think?:

Wow, they really turned out great. They look much more accurate. Although, I seem to remember a discussion earlier about the stripes on the ESB helmet fading from yellow (front) to orange (back). I can't remember...

EDIT: Yeah, I can see it in this shot. The thickness of the stripes is spot on.

EDIT: By the way, are you still working on a template for the ROTJ helmet stripes? Thanks.

Sorry it took so long to get these done, but here you go. I've combined the ESB and the ROTJ templates on one image. The "unweathered" marks are to use in case you want to paint the weathering on top of the marks, rather do the extra work of cutting out the weathering. This should print actual size.

Yes, the ESB stripes have some gradation toward the back of the stripes.
