new Decals

Post by The Master »

A new project. What you can do for your self. First I d not want to belittle the decal makers. They do a graet job and I have used there stuff for years. The cost is about the same but home made is more personal in acheavment and look. If any want to do so, testors has the program. It will never out do the pro's with ther special machines. It will how ever give you a sence a accomplishment when you finish a project.

I wanted a look close to the KR's on Star Trek, just to differ from my klingon stuff. A bit rough but first try.

I would also like to you all that this is the best decal stuff on the market as far as I am concerned. I have used it for over a decade and never had a thing to complain about.

I like the fine hull-panel detail you got on that.

Micro Sol and Micro Set are great stuff. Almost mandatory at the tiny scales we work at.

I agree, that panel work is stunning! Absolutely first rate!

Agreed...I can't do decals without Micro-Sol. A must.

Guten tag Her Gray! Wie Gates?

The funny thing with Micro Sol is sometimes I swear all it is is vinegar (it sure smells like it), but I'm sure there are some other things in it that soften the carrier film.
