socal76 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Detail Masters did a set but they are a bit difficult to find now. Might check the web site just to see if they have any left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I just got a set of these for another project and they are pretty spectacular. I haven't used them yet and I need to conserve them as the project is quite large. I got them from Last Cavalry. http://shop.lastcavalry.com/brands/Uschi-van-der-Rosten.html Great service and reasonable price! They shipped the next day.

You might also check with Gofer Decals. they seem to be coming up with something new all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeked at the Uschi sight they seem to have some VERY interesting decal sets. Pete J the link to a U.S. distributor makes me more prone to make a purchase of several of their items. I found the wood and leather decals particularly integrating. I have made purchases of overseas items in the past and deed dealing with exchange rates of various countries i.e. U.S. dollars v.s. Euros/Pounds/Franc/Marks etc., not to mention the painfully staggering wait (going thought customs/ item you bought is on a slow boat from the other side of the world etc. ) of door to door delivery.

Several of the sets are just the graining on a clear carrier film so you can choose the base color. If you wanted to, you could easily vary that color to make the grain more subtle and choose your type of wood, such as a dark brown for walnut or a very light color for maple. I got the "plywood" set, as I am doing large plywood panels. Going to be very interesting. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Certainlywood.com has thousands of wood samples on their site that you can put on your computer, then manipulate any way you want to make your own decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
