Many thanks.

I usually just measure any edge of the part, then take the pictures from official photos, scale them down, and cut them out by hand with a hobby knife. The stickers are usually so small that fine detail and accuracy doesn't really matter. Always print multiple stickers and in slightly different sizes in case you mess up.

For Gashats I'd use this image https://www.deviantart.com/raidenzei...shat-624202794

I always use transparent sticker paper which isn't always an ideal fit for color, but if you use regular white sticker paper, you'll be able to see a white edge around the stickers.

I found this decal sheet a while back ago

Yep, that looks pretty much like exactly what I do.

I can't wait to do the stickers for Grand Zi-O... that will be fun.

How would one go about printing these? And if it requires something specific would I be able to order them from someone who can print them?

(I know there's SHF Upgrade and stuff but due to where they're based the shipping is insane)

It's not hard or specialized at all.

A regular modern printer can do it just fine. Just make sure you get the right sticker paper. If you have an inkjet printer, get inkjet specific paper.

The paper is thick so printers that can't do cardstock may struggle.

One of the secrets I do is upload my image to Google photos and do the local print and pickup thing. They print standard photo size images on nice glossy cardstock for as low as 30 cents a print. You might get weird looks from the people working there though.

This of course if for regular images that I glue, not stickers.

If you're needing the paint to stick to the plastic better, I recommend using fine sandpaper to sand off the plastic finish (like 800 - 1000 grit).

Some people also hand-paint primer. That is an option.

Edit: Also if you use primer, you cannot paint with a Gundam marker directly, you must pump it out and use a brush.

Thanks I will try to sand off plastic to see if the result is better.

Hey what type of paint works best for painting SODO stuff? I'd like to paint up some of the saber stuff because they suffer from no back paint.

Oh I missed this message. I use Gundam markers, but I don't really paint the backs. Just the parts that wrap around the back, so belts, ankles, wrists, and sometimes obvious armor back armor parts.

For example, I panel lined Buster's back "shell" and painted two sections on Slash's back that looks like they connect to the shoulder parts.

Here's a quick visual painting guide on our beloved tertiary riders. Right-click and open in new tab to see the full size image.

A little update on the Kamen Rider keyboard I've been working on:



So I've set up a macro pad. Each button plays the same sound that the Neo-Decadriver would play for that rider. Pressing the top left button will toggle the Final Form sound from the NDD (Zi-O will be the Grand Zi-O henshin jingle).

What's cool is that all the sounds can overlap and make the craziest noise.

Right now, there's no speaker built into it so it has to be connected to a computer to work properly. I still need to add labels to the side buttons and try to add light animations.

It's really fun to randomly trigger henshin sounds while I'm working at my desk!
