Do any of you know of a source for decals that carry misc. markings and could be used for 1:18th projects...something that might be a bit sci-fi even?
pre made decals
- Thread starter Dropshipbob
- Start date
Vexilarius will make decals, but it won't be cheap.
The only other person making them was doing WWII stuff, and sold his stock and such to Monkey Depot. Unfortunately they were done with an ALPS printer, and last I heard it had gone down for good.
Now, if you have a good home printer you can buy a Testors Decal Kit. Once you get the hang of sizing I hear they work alright.

Here's what you need:
Ink jet printer
Photoshop program or something like it
Decal paper http://www.decalpaper.com/
It's really pretty simple.

I think I posted a link in the dio parts suggestion thread...it's a great link to a guy on eBay who has all kinds of dry rub decals (which look better than anything else IMO)...you could spend all day looking thru what he has...
Try this guys stuff...

check out verlinden or archer dry rub decals too, they have quality stuff, and they should have a good bit in 1:16
Thanks for the link Eddie- they've got some decals that I can really use for my Dust stuff
But if I do that, I'd have to cut it close to the actual decal so there isn't a white outline, correct?
Unless your decal has a clear section you'd want to make all your decals on white paper. It'll make the colours show up better on whatever background you are applying the decal to. Otherwise the decal colours will appear washed out.....same thing happens with stickers.
