I am having real problems with some old Tamiya decals. practising with the spare ones they are a nightmare to get off in one piece and just fall to bits. I think they need wetted and left for maybe 10 mins as that's when they actually seem to slide. I think I need to try and get another set.

i maybe wrong with this,but i have done before is give the decals a couple of coats of matt clear,let dry,


just over the surface of the decal,


then use just a few drops of water in a small dish,that will sock up from the bottom,through the paper maybe takes a little longer,


just do a test to see if the decal will slip about,and if so ,then should be find to slid into place,


hope this is some help,

[Guest]

Cheers Steve much appreciated iam glad you like them, not sure how many I will need yet, but I will say that they are easier to make than I thought and was wondering if anyone would find a tutorial useful from start to finish?

Hi Dave with the decals you probably could but I have no idea on how to do it, or even if my printer is able to.

The trees look great and yes do do a tree tutorial step by step. I'm sure others will also find it useful.


As for the decals. It's just like printing a picture. Which type of printer do you have?

[Guest]

Cheers Ian glad you like them, will do that tutorial on Friday I think when I have some time. Not sure the wife bought a new one two weeks ago I think it's an Epsom .

Well next time you order from sms buy some decal paper. Just a couple of sheets of clear and white, you can also get a fixer solution, but you can get away with acrylic varnish..


If the decal has white in it, use the White film, if not use the clear one. Give it a bash, you might like it
