The Mandalorian Chapter 22 "The Resistor" spark pad case ID help

[Vaderman]

Looks like this. Will split the stamp and invert the symbols today. Have to buy some blueish stamp paint.

Wow! That’s a great start. Ok, I am in for a set of stamps.

That's just a test. Have to sand down the base of the stamp to remove the diagonal lines. So far, so good. Have to make a handle for the stamp

 

[Vaderman]

Getting there! Might be a good idea to make a sleeve that the case will just fit into eo that the stamp is always lined up perfectly.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Guess my theory about sanding down that part was useful. Guess the ink is horrible. Have to use real paint.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Practicing a few more times improved the results. Now to get a better paint

 

[the.rebel.agent]

TPU stamp was a much better option. But I feel the ink still being a problem. Will look for something better and post back

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Got the right paint consistency! Now to get the right color

 

[Vaderman]

That looks much better! Better saturation, but have you tried to use paint On the stamp?

That's exactly what I did. I applied paint over the stamp with a sponge, and later stamped the paper.

Just found a white one. Can't buy 216 of those cases. Let's hope someone else could sell them for less.

I am still trying to find the right size in Germany. All shops there have only a smaller version
Does anybody know a shop in Germany?

Try to Aliexpres or ebay

 

[TK41434]

I want to order in Germany, and tried Ebay. But in Germany nobody is offering the right size.

But...what is the problem to buy outside Germany?

I failed miserably trying to user acrylic paint over the tin box. Black went great, but blue was horrible. Tried several techniques, nothing worked out. Have to get a transparent metal primer and try again.

Bad experiences with the postal office and money institutions in the past ... and may be littlebit old-school

the.rebel.agent# sorry to read that you had a bad time with your last tries.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Don't worry. Guess I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Trying a different shape for the blue part. Only I have to do is to fill the gaps with a brush

 

[Vaderman]

Maybe the material they are made from is the wrong consistency?
Too soft, perhaps?

you talking about the tin boxes or the stamps? If they stamps are not made of a flexible material, they won't work. Enamel paints like Humbrol got better adherence.

 

[Vaderman]

I meant perhaps the stamps were soft or porous. Just judging by the way the ink is bleeding out in spots and gapping in others. Rubber stamps are usually fairly rigid. Do you happen to have a small roller to apply the ink to the stamp?
I bet this is frustrating - you are so close!

 

[nickytea]

I think you might be surprised how little it costs to get a couple real rubber stamps custom cut. If you're committed to this approach, I'd highly recommend it! (I've had good experiences with VistaPrint for stamps I've used for other projects, but many of the print-on-demand sites appear to offer them now.)
