Re: Luke v2 lightsaber paint stencils: All new files
OK, should be getting a new roll of vinyl delivered and we'll ramp up production on these to get the remaining orders out. My wife just graduated so we're taking a much deserved family weekend. I'll send an update when the next large batch is ready to roll out.
In the meantime, for those that have shipped, let me know when they arrive, send pics, post your results, I'm anxious to see the first ever painted V2 using the new stencils! Who's it gonna be?

Re: Luke v2 lightsaber paint stencils: All new files
buddy im praying... im working on 2 different jobs sites right now, one during the day and one at night. i need them both done by next week, my father is going to have a operation and i am also going to be laid off (once the jobs are done) so i have zero time right now...
I got 2 coats on it now, waiting for it to be solid and doing my little "blast sprays" to make it look all funky.. i am not going to remove the wind vane stencils because i want to leave them on for dry brushing.. and i have yet to choose what color to go with on the wind vane...
honestly thinking of trying this
i dont rush anything, i also have 1 more trick up my sleeve i want to show case. i am hoping to have this done with in the next 2 weeks. others will be done far before mine.

Looks great! And looks sooooo satisfying to peel those off, LOL. Can't wait until it's my turn.

Re: Luke v2 lightsaber paint stencils: All new files
LOL oh yeah definitely! That was one of the hardest parts of trying to get these right. Some images show certain things and another image OF THE SAME ANGLE looks completely different, or is missing. There were even spots on the Mark Hamil video that appeared to be NEW because they can't be seen in the ROTJ and Celebration photos. I know they didn't ADD new chips so it has to be that the celebration photos had glare or were lower resolution.
But yes, many chips were missing or changed shape from ROTJ to the current state of the prop. Because there are 35 years of wear and tear on this thing since ROTJ there's just absolutely no way to get this 100% perfect. So my aim was to capture all the chips as seen in ROTJ and ROTJ behind the scenes footage as closely as possible where we had reference. But also to supplement and correct those pieces where we had really good high rez photos of that same area from now. For places where it was there in ROTJ but not there in it's current spot, I went ahead and included it as it was in ROTJ, that way, if you didn't want it (and you're that insanely anal about it) you could just scrape it off to have it mimic the prop as it is now. But I mean, at the end of the day, we're talking about a random 35 year old PAINT chip for crying out loud! I have to sometimes step back and relax about it because...well..it's a F*%&ing paint chip.
I even feel very strongly that at least a couple of chips had to have flaked off during the Mark Hamil video as they are there in one shot, and then gone in another shot.
I don't have the exact pieces or frames to back that up at the moment. I'd have to go back and study each frame again (I'm not going to volunteer to do that again LOL) but I had my friend double check me on it and sure enough, a spot or two that was seen in ROTJ and in the first part of the Mark Hamil video, was then clearly missing at the end of the video.
I'm sure Brandon was okay with it since Mark was responsible.

Some of you should be getting your stencils any day now! (or if you're in Texas, some of you should have already received them)
I'm anxious to hear that you're getting them safely so please post and let me (and everyone else) know that they're arriving.
And as always, once you paint yours up, I'd LOVE to see how it turned out! We still don't have a fully weathered, complete V2 with the new stencils yet so the race is on!
