Hey everyone! Been working on this project for a few weeks. I scored a resonably priced LJN Jumbo commander Voltron sans stickers. Since it was basically unbroken and clean, I set out to reproduce all the stickers necessary I was able to find some on Machindershop, but most needed heavy re-working or re-creation to fit. Whoever did them did a really nice job, but they were almost all the incorrect sizes. Using pictures on the net I recreated the ones that weren't existing (like the Eyes, Tails, cheeks) and again completely re-did many of the others. Although all stickers were re-done, I did keep the original chest sticker and the orginal belt sticker as they were in pretty nice shape and I didn't want to remove them. Also the "5" on Yellow Lion is the same. Everything else has been replaced. Here you can see some of the before and after pictures: Close-up of the feet Close-up of the Hands I think the stickers came out really well!

Wow those look great! I used the stickers from Machindershop, and as you mentioned, most are the wrong size, and many of the smaller ones are missing. You should think about selling your custom sticker sets.

Thanks! It took me several weeks to re-size those stickers and create the new ones. For many I just started over. I will probably post them on Ebay now and again. PM me if you know anyone that would like a set.
I'm not sure what to charge. It's acutally a lot of stickers for this guy!!

really nice job.
I still have two jumbos that need to have a new ste of stickers, but never figured out how to do those metalic ones.
How did you do them?? Is this printed on a aluminium sticker?? Do you think you can print that in color as well.
For now I've put a middle grey. I've redo the whole stickers set for Voltes V and Leopaldon in photoshop, but those metalic stickers are not easy to manage.
So if you have some tips and tricks.
Oh looks like you might speak french... "sans stickers" if it's the case you can reply in french trough a private message if you want.
Cheers and happy new year to all the members of this forum.
