    I remember back ing the day, someone had a website where you could download full size artwork/markings for a number of the different x-wing helmets seen in the movies, but my bookmark for it is on my dead comp at home. Can someone post a link please?

    Also, does anyone know where I can get aftermarket visors to fit a FULL size helmet?

    Thanks!

    I think I have some of that artwork you're talking about. I'm at work right now, and if someone else doesn't help you first, I'll take a look once I get home.

    As far as the visors go, have you tried R.A.? That's where I got my helmet from a few years ago.

    I, too, would recommend Richie's Armor. He offers up lots of nice services for XWing helmets.

    I second Richie's Armor. I did make some of the main helmet decals, and have them available for free download. Just visit www.tk560.com and scroll down the page a bit. If you need the Adobe Illustrator files I used to create them, let me know. Hope this helps out. They are originals made by me from screen grabs, so please do not redistribute them.

    I too have been working on a X-wing visor and have finally finished a working mold, and have figured out a way to dye the PETG any color! But the process is so time consuming, and the PETG is so expensive, I can't really afford to make these for sale. We have made a handfull of these and the RFT visors, but it is taking some time to make just the stuff we need for the fan film.

    Sarge,
    I looked at what I have, and I have to say. . . go with Jimbo890's graphics!
    They look outstanding compared to what I had saved.

    Jimbo,
    Those really do look excellent! You did those yourself? Great work! I love the markings for Red Leader.

    Yes, I made them some months ago using Adobe Illustrator CS, and are based off screen grabs. I wish I had check on the Parts of Star Wars site for those references on the &#39;victory&#39; as the ones I made are a bit too thick. Oh, well. The &#39;rebel shield&#39; is also undersized, and the weight of the black line is a bit too thick IMHO, but thats how it goes.

    Thanks for the kind words regarding these. I hope they help someone out with their helmets. Red Leader is a real &#39;wild guess&#39; due to the poor reference material I had. Same for the Training helmet.

    Jim
