home made decals

thought i would put this in here, so as not to muddy up Asa's thread

anyway, back when i had time to build models, i decided i also wanted to make my own decals
i would buy both white and clear decal paper and print them decals right from the house

(i even made a small trade business for parts out of it, license plates, truck call outs, that kinda stuff)

anyway, you made the "picture" in whatever you are comfortable with, paint, photoshop, whatever and print it out
i always printed a few test runs to make sure i got the scale right

then you print it on the decal paper, let it dry and shoot some clear coat over it

a day later, you are ready to apply the decals


i will try to grab some new pics later, but here are some stinking photobucket ones





be nice, thats the missus on that hood there
