Rarden t-tp saxe blue

Ok here they are no stencils yet will Let the paint cure for a while , also got a feeling drive band should have had paint ??? be better taking the pictures in the day light , next time they appear I should have the stencils done

Thanks Ken, they look great. How will you do the stencilling? Would a rubber stamp be authentic? Don't know if the drive band should be painted.

stencil 30mm rarden

Hi Gary for these I use Letraset from ebay just used 3mm medium condensed for this size of projectile but need more to finnish it . then a dust of clear matt lacquer . a rubber stamp would be good I went to a place up the road but they wouldn't do it because of ammo etc heres a pic one I am doing just couldn't wait mate lol

Thanks Ken, they look great. How will you do the stencilling? Would a rubber stamp be authentic? Don't know if the drive band should be painted.
Cheers

The drive band shouldn't be painted except where the spray accidentally gets on it. Remember for them to look real they should not be perfect, bit of faded lettering etc. They are only made to be spat out at something, not a work of art. Ken, if you want me to cut you some vinyl stencils to spray the lettering on for them, let me know.
