what is the best way to rescale images ?
diymirage replied to diymirage's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
those look just a hair grainy to me though which would be fine for my own stuff but if im selling these then they need to be perfect one thing i do like about word is the scaling on it, it tells you the dimensions in inches...great for figuring out the size -

1/18 1959 Impala Emblems & Seat Insert decals?
diymirage replied to impcon's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
if the 1/25 decals have all the prints on them that you need then they should work no problem so if you can scan then and send them to me in a file ill try to resize and print them for you (just make sure you measure the seats so i know how big to print them) does that sheet not have the hood decal you want ? if it does it would be so much easier then working with a photo maybe you could find the hood emblem using google image search ? if you can find one on a white background i should be able to work with it (im using clear decal paper so the white wont show, which reminds me, if you want white in the seats you have to paint it white before aplying the decal) as for trades, i mostly build mopars so if you have anything in that catagory that you think is a fair trade let me know. right now im looking for a twin turbo setup for a hemi, but i could also use a blower, a nice set of rims and tires or a few superbird wings -
1/18 1959 Impala Emblems & Seat Insert decals?
diymirage replied to impcon's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
if you can provide me the proper pictures i wouldnt mind trying to print you some decals it is a simple but tedious job...basically what it consists of is printing the decals on regular paper untill you gt the perfect size then you just print them on decal paper, clear coat and done id imagine a 1/18 is even easyer because it would show more detail i dont have any 1/18 cars myself so if you could provide me the properly scaled images and i just print them that would be awesome let me know if your interested and well work out a trade -

Thread for Ideas for New Topics/Categories
diymirage replied to Gregg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
i would like to see a clear division in trucks ranging in size from pickup (including caminos and racheros) to small commercial (maybe duallies) up to large comercial (petes and the such) also, if we could seperate the tutorial into a single closed section where one can submit a tutorial to one of the mod who then place the toturial and lock it so that it doesnt get spammed thats my 2 cents -
Posting in the Right Place
diymirage replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
