Vehicles Custom Oktober Guard Decals

fearthehoss75 · 04-21-2014, 10:47 AM

Hey guys. I started a thread earlier about 1/18 scale russian tanks to make a custom for my Oktober guard.

Now my plans are in swing but before I start I want to make sure I have access to all of my materials. Does anyone know how to do custom decals?? I want the oktober guard symbol (like whats on the Truck transport from the 12 con), red stars, and hammer/sickle symbol seen on the USSR flag.

Already tried Cobrastickers but they do not do custom orders...

Look up "soviet decals" on eBay. Some of the 1:24 scale stuff should work for Joe scale vehicles.

Plus, you can buy blank decal paper that will run through a printer.

I thought of doing them myself but then I realized my printer is a POS haha. ANy tech savvy guys out there looking to make a quick buck?

I was hoping Cobrastickers would add the Oktober Guard design from the 2012 Club set. Their current design with the pseudo Russian copy of the GI Joe logo doesn't cut it.

I believe Cobrastickers does have national insignia sets for both the USSR and Russian Federation, though.

I can do waterslide decals for you, but not stickers. Shoot me a PM if you'd like some.

I like that they used the 2014 set's design, but why did they use faux-Russian instead of just copying it exact?

Im not entirely convinced the convention set used actual Russian either. The letters are Russian, but according to the art, "Oktober" would be pronounced "Oktyabya" and I dont think that is correct.

As for the CobraStickers version, it used the Russian letters that resemble the letters we would recognize. Such as the Russian "ya" which resembles a backward R in place of R
