I'm going to do the same. I'm not sure that I will use an ice cream lid, but it will be some small shim of flexible plastic. It fits so snugly up against the shield so it really shouldn't be visible. I also played around with the deuce and a half tire band, and it is much easier to work with if you cut it down to size. I ordered my bands from Mooremilitaria.com as I previously linked, and they come in 1" sections. If you cut it down to the appropriate 1/2" or 1/4" size, it has more give (science!!). I do think the band used in the movie was thicker rubber though, so I'm still looking for other alternatives.
Now, does anybody have a clear shot of the yellow insignia that is on the side of some of the helmets? Something clear and straight on? I don't care if its a screen grab or a photo of the one on the lego helmets, either should work.

I'm working on drawing up the insignia in Illustrator to be used for a decal/template. Will post here when it's finished
the yellow symbol?

I believe you are correct Danny. I think it is attached to the helmet, not the Blast Shield but either would work really. For the helmet? A strip of aluminum and two pop rivets would hold it to the helmet. For the torch I was thinking either a small screw or 5 minute epoxy.
im glad im not imagining things lol

Sorry for the primitive way of explaining. I don't have any form of photo editing on my mac.

I know there has been some discussion of the tradition of adding playing cards onto soldiers helmets. There are the sabacc decks which are a part of Star Wars universe, but on page 83 of "Rogue One The Ultimate Visual Guide", there is a small reference to the Dead Man's Binspo Card game and an even smaller photo. When I searched the web the game is mentioned in relationship to gambling but I was not able to find any examples. So I made my own.
I had to make a few assumptions but I tried to be faithful to the little bit of information available. For example, the highest value displayed seems to be "seven". There is no evidence of a "null" or a card with no pips, but since I needed a basic card to build upon it just made sense to include one. There was only evidence of three "suits" and just to provide identifiers I assigned stellar designations inspired by their designs. I use the terms Suns, Comets, and Pulsars. I did not make a back pattern for the deck since there was nothing to use as a base. The only assumption I would make about the back is the outside rim of the back would be black to match the outside rim of the card's face. This is a common playing card practice to help prevent cheating. I am thinking of perhaps a largely black back with a scattering of various size white dots to represent a star field.
Feel free to use, comment or criticize.
