Lookin' great, all around! Lovin' the decals. Lovin' the hairline. It's all gonna be unique and great!
Do you have any info to offer on what decal-printing paper you use? Or what type of printer? (Inkjet; laser; Alps? I presume inkjet, but ...?) Or what specific "bonder" you use, after your decals have been printed out? And finally: when they're ready to apply, are you using any kind of a settling solution?

And finally: when they're ready to apply, are you using any kind of a settling solution? I've always used Testors paper and bonder , only because the local Mom & Pop hobby shop carries it and I always shop there . I know there are lots of other brands available that are probably better but the Testors works for me so I've never tried another brand . I also use Model Master Setting Solution and Model Master Solvent which works just as well as any other I've bought . But I'm careful about using the solvent on my home made decals because too much of it will dissolve the binder and ruin them . That's why I have trouble with wrinkles on some of them ! |

Excellent news, and I'll add those to my ever-increasing products (of various kinds, for various purposes) to try out, in due time. Thanks much for the info!
On the decal stuff, I mainly asked because I just used up the last little bit of an 8.5" by 11" piece of ten-or-more-year old decal-printing paper. I presume the stuff I was using was seriously "old tech" due to the age / time period it came from. Probably a lot of decal-printing papers will work better than the stuff I was using (I'd assume, anyway) ... so, it's "adventure on the horizon" for me, on decal stuff.
Thanks again for the info! Always good to know what worked out well for a fellow modeler!

Thanks guys ! I started to make some Rat Fink decals for a Chevy "Rat" motor but then I thought a "Mouse" motor would be more fun ! |
