Reliable decal sellers

Post by irashaine1972 »

Where is the best place to get decals? I noticed there are a couple of providers listed in the miniatures section of the FC site. Is any the best/fastest at getting decals to you? Are there others not listed?

Just curious.

thanks

I order and use decals from both http://www.starfighter-decals.com & http://www.pomroyproductions.com.

I have had good service from both. Take a look through their products, they both have a lot of product options.

Starfighter Decals sells some very nice Federation decals in the SFD-01 set and the associated Federation names/numbers decal sets.
I have also been happy with my Kzinti, Klingon and Lyran decals from them, especially the Kzinti.

Pomroy Productions produces Mirror Universe Terran Empire ship names and numbers that I really, really like. I have also been very happy with my WYN decals from Pomroy Productions too.

For examples of the Kzinti, Klingon, Lyran and WYN decals, look at my work in the appropriate Painting Examples threads (Note: The window decals on the Lyran and WYN ships were homemade with the help of my wife and not bought.)

Here is an example of the Terran Empire decals augmented with SFD-01 decals (the photo is a bit out of focus):

I've gotten several sets of Fed declas from Starfighter Ace (although, I only use the hull numbers / names and paint the rest of the details myself). I've gotten good service and the decals work quitewell.

I've also joined in with a friend or two to split the effort required to make our own custom decals. The decison proces to what goes on is a joint decision, the graphic artist makes the decals, the guy with the access to the high-end laser printer prints out copies fopr everyone, etc.

SVC: Thanks!
I will check with my official photographer (wife) and ask her to take some better pictures than I took (this picture was one of mine) and post them on the mini of the month topic.
