a whole new level of d.i.y.
or perhaps i shouldn’t say new since some folks have been doing mods, custom costuming to match sci-fi costumes, especially star wars, for years. but this one (and of course his original) tops them all in terms of attention to detail and dedication.
I made a template for the 14 ESB kill marks for my helmet. I did some research on the reference cd and I believe the stripe proportions and weathering marks are correct. I printed them out, cut out the black parts with an exacto knife, cut on dotted lines and taped to the helmet. I believe the bottom of the stripes should be 1/4″ above the red brow. (The second row of stripes are for optional use.) I had to touch it up a little because of a tiny bit of “underspray” leaking through the template. Make sure you tape it down tight.
wow. go chris! [some others can be found by googling but don’t miss the star wars chick. zow.]
