Motivational text on helmet

[Tank]

I'm painting my replica MICH 2000 soon, and I stumbled across a guy who wrote "Si vis pacem para bellum" on his helmet. I really liked this adage and I'd like to add it to my helmet.
I'd like to have it written in a certain font on my helmet, instead of writing it with a marker.

And cutting out letters with a knife on the black primer... Well, I'd rather skip that.

Any ideas, please?

I did something similar with the stalker styled armour I used a large russian alphabet stencil i printed out and used to write Purcy on my armour

unless you want something long winded its the best way to go..other wise get any artistic drafted in to help...

the scratches and missing bits of the letter were on purpose to make it look weathered ..certainly is weathered now after i went to portland with it...looks battered as hell but this is the idea
