Oh man you just gave me an idea, I have these letter punches that should look good on the tin for L/R. I like the bottom stickers looks sharp, I have some of these water stickers but never got them to works like I wanted in the past.

These look so good! Really nice work.

I have a blank tin that i'm starting to put ideas together on...decals etc. (that said i likely wont build it for a while!)

I actually really like the 'L' and 'R' mate.

Looking forward to the final product!

i think a punch is not a bad idea....

this water slider paper is a bit finicky.... in my initial testing i tried it with larger designs, which went fine...

the smaller this design, its just a nightmare....

Those tins are amazing! I wanted to do something like the one on the right for mine but I'm not that skill.

If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to apply the designs to the tins?

Edit: Nevermind, I see you're using vinyl and water slide paper. I'm not familiar working with it but my mom does. Maybe I'll be able to get her to do something like that for me.

thanks...

i did try to start something with designs (but nothing really happened)
and i've provided a blank template for the altoids tin, which can be used in photoshop (or a similar software)
or just right click (and save) one of the ones i've posteed...

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=2885


half the fun is doing it yourself, and its a learning experience (its either success or learn... no fails)...
i'm not a deisgner or have much experience in these things either, but i enjoy learning new skills (a bit of noob really)

all of this stuff i did at home and using a (fairly old) inkjet printer...

Thanks for link to the image! I'm sure I can figure out something or at my mom will be able to (she has always been an artsy person).
