Subject: Custom Decals - question to the list
Hi folks, A while back, someone on the list was making custom decals. Is that person still around, and if so, please let me know if you're still doing it. Does anyone remember who it was? Thanks folks,

Depends on what you want. The more complex the artwork, the longer it could take. It also depends on whether you provide artwork, or if I have to draw from scratch. If you give me a better idea of what you're looking for, I can give you an estimate.

I'll see what I'm thinking about. If I got the artwork I can scan and email it. Probibly relatively straight forward. "John K. Lerchey" <lerchey@andrew.cmu.edu> wrote:Depends on what you want.

When I was visiting WDC and had to stay up there on business for a fewweeks on end, I ended up at a local gaming store. Anyway the subject of decals came up because I saw an 40K Imperial Guard army painted as Waffen SS to include the unit markings on the tanks using both transparent decal paper and plain typing paper. they were very good. Decal paper for inkjet and laser printers is now available at most hobby or arts and craft shops in the US or by internet for the rest of the world, though it is a bit expensive, for me anyway. One of the ways that decals can be made for terrain or minis is to scale them down from artwork, and print them on plain white paper (as I have seen done and it looks good for larger minis) or the above decal paper. Sometimes I can't find anything that resembles the exact item I am looking for. For those who either don't have the time or patience, we pay others to do it for us.

One of the other things to consider, is that the decals that I produce can be made in white or with a white undercoat. This stops the decal from "dulling down" or "darkening" when put onto a darker surface. If that's not important to you, then yeah, the inkjet decals work just fine. :) John (representing Decals Express) --On Sunday, October 24, 2004 7:52 PM -0700 Thomas Westbrook > <tom_westbrook@yahoo.com> wrote: > When I was visiting WDC and had to stay up there on business for a
