Painting a solid Line on US Military Police M1 Helmet

Customer:

I'm working on a US MP re enactment uniform for the 101st airborne, and would like some help on what you use to put the stripe around the helmet for the MP.

N - USA

WarHats:

If you want to make a band round your helmet such as a British or US Airborne MP helmet, then buy some masking tape approx 3/4 to 1" wide and place this in the position round the helmet where you want the band to be. Then using masking tape place it up to the edges of the first masking tape all the way round the helmet. Finish with two vertical strips where you want to end the band at the front of the helmet. Then remove the central tape and hey presto you have a stencil for the band!
