Could i take a picture or multipe of a subject then use the software to size ot correctly

Looks great! thank you for posting.

Would Tamiya TS-13 work to seal the decals while on the paper?

Hi, I'm a modeling noob who tried making his own transfers once already and have some questions about improving the process (I want to do it a bit better this time)

- Last time I did it, I have not set the printer to glossy paper ( can't yet find the option to do so). My colored transfers were a bit translucent and only popped in to color on white/bright background - was this the cause or was my problem some other random thing?
- What does the "setting the ink" process mean exactly? My expirience with decals so far was to just put them in to water, use microsol and then matte varnish the result. Missing a whole step feels concerning

Thanks for the video, it was really helpfull

What's the best way to ensure the text/logo is the correct size from the computer screen to the model?

Could I use water to dip in the decals and then use micro set and micro sol to apply the decals??

Great video! Have you done any decals for models with dark colors? I have a white toner for my printer but even with printing a white layer first then the color image on top, the color of the decal reduces significantly after applying on a dark color surface.

Hi, I get weird white lines when I print my decals on inkjet paper.

I'm going to build a panzer VII for a good friend and really wanted to do custom decals for him. This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Damn I cannot print in white as I need white playboy bunny for my 1/48 SR-71.

Which brand of decal paper do you use? I used to buy mine from MicroMark, but the last batch did not behave as well as the stuff I bought from them years ago. I don't remember the brand I bought from a local hobby shop (now closed) years ago, which also worked well.

wht kind of software / App u r using for print?

Great information, can u describe the exect type of paper / sheet? which using for decals

I always scan my decals before use just in case I ruin one during application I can always re print them. Also I use (2) coats of Rust-olem Cristal Clear Enamel to seal my decals.

There is 1 vintage inkjet printer on this planet that can print White. The brand is "Alps".

Great info! I had no idea how all of that worked; thanks for the video. And the B-17 is stunning; I should live so long...

Can the Testors GlossCote be hand brushed on? I don’t have an airbrush or an area in which to set one up for safe use.

Best bet for white is to paint the area where the decal is going to go white ahead of time. I say this while trying to figure out how I’m going to get some white for Mav and Goose’s helmets in 1/48 and 1/72 scale. Got aftermarket decals that didn’t include white parts.🤬🤬🤬

Is vallejo gloss varnish also suitable as clear film?

Right now I'm working on my homemade decals for a hungarian bf 109, a P51d and some other small stuff to pack the printed sheet, so I'm sure this video is gonna help a lot

Awesome video. Will save this for future reference

Deeeeeeeeeee--cal 👈🤣

I have wondered if spraying white ink on clear decal paper would work. Excellent video.

Hell yeah i cant wait to make my own decals!!!
