Jitters Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hope this doesn't get me in trouble with anyone...Drew up some art for a vinyl decal for my helmet. Gonna take it to a sticker maker tomorrow and have a few made up and just thought I'd share.I will post the art now and take pics of the helmet when I get the sticker applied. The theme is WW2 style bomber nose art, as you may guess from the image. The helmet already has the olive color and stripe applied, so it should make a nice package when complete. Eventually I'd like to paint the mod to go with the whole theme. Go for style points to make up for my noobie riding ability!Hope you like. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 how big is the vinyl going to be?Because there are no flat surfaces on most helmets, it will be difficult to make it stick flat if its more than a couple of inches squared.

Jitters Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah the girl should be roughly 4" tall. The girl and the lettering will be two separate pieces so I should be able to apply it without fear of any wrinkles, even on lightly curved section towards the rear of the helmet. Should work, in theory anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walker Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 you can apply some vinyls to curved surfaces by stretching them with a soap solution underneath, think theres a few videos on youtube on how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimstone Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 That's cool, hope it works. The avatar idea is good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitters Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hello again,Updated the avatar as suggested )Thanks for the compliments.

Dan6061 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Just to be picky, she's holding the wrong brake (for us Brit's anyway...) and the stem's a bit short/low for a mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no worries!You're right, but for us yanks we usually don't have our bikes set up 'motocycle style,' although I wish we would. My road bike is set up that way becuase it just makes more sense. The best part about that is it drives the bike shop guys over here insane! Great fun!As far as the stem and whatnot, it's just a cartoon. I can do whatever I want - even make her hold a beer while riding naked. Thanks for the laugh and noticing the details.

Jitters Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh forgot about that.Zhi Zm2, I think it's an 06. I won't get around to adding the theme to that until I break something on it and have to sit around and wait for replacement parts. They take a while to get here.I'll get a snap of it and photoshop the basic idea on there.Jeez, kinda pricey to get the stickers made, but went ahead and did it anyway. Should have them Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 That would look awesome as a hooded sweatshirt (with that design on the back) over the winter months, or T-Shirt during summer. Got anymore designs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 looking forward to seeing the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got anymore designs?I was thinking the same thing. I do lots of T-shirt work for a mountain bike race event company in my free time. I'd have to limit the colors a bit to make it print nice, but unfortunately, I'd have to print a lot of them to make it worthwhile, as the minimum press run at the print house I use is way too expensive.I have lots of other design work, but most of it isn't trials-related.I picked up the stickers this morning, but don't think i can apply them proper at my workstation right now ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
