Hello, I am currently trying to plan out a project. I just bought a Castellan Knight and I would like to make it Deathwatch themed. Modeling wise, this process would mostly consist of simply placing Deathwatch iconography everywhere. But I wanted to do something more for the left arm.

I purchased these

https://www.shapeways.com/product/HH8JZESEB/xenos-hunters-2-vehicle-insignia-pack?optionId=65526777

which I'm hoping to be able to bend around the shoulder and elbow pads like this (I marked the rough location of the chapter badge).





But then I would like to put some lettering on, like what you find on the deathwatch shoulder pads.



I can think of two strategies here. Sculpt them with some kind of stencil or purchase some resin (?) ones somewhere. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or product recommendations for something like this?


I appreciate any help you can give me.

Do any of those green stuff rollers/stamps have script options? I'd start there.

Does it need to be raised? If not, simply paint it on. If yes, I'd start with a google search on "plasticard letters" - seems a common requirement for train modelling...

Well, when I started looking for those, I noticed that this site had these.

3mm high seems roughly to scale with what I'm trying to do.
