swede70 Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Greeetings, Searching for suppliers and likely leads consistent with doing what's necessary on a 1:12th '69 Camaro Z/28 featuring a yellow interior with yellow and black patterned houndstooth inserts. I finally sourced 1:1 vinyl interior paint from a supplier, but alas haven't yet turned up decals to pull this off. Guidance sought then. Kind thanks... Mike K./Swede70
paul alflen Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Swede 70, try a Meijer store in the beauty supply. I saw a nail pattern for women's nails that looked like houndstooth in that scale . Don't know if they still have it. Try Sally beauty supply. I also know that a lot of current women's purses and jackets have that pattern. Maybe photograph it, resize, and print on decal paper?
NOBLNG Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I found this pattern on the net, downsized it and printed it on normal paper. I didn’t go all the way down to 1/25 size just so the pattern stands out more. I’ve never printed on decal paper, but I imagine it could be done. Hope this helps. Edited April 22, 2021 by NOBLNG
swede70 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 Thank you both for the leads and ideas consistent with getting me where I want to be. I'll be doing some further research on the pattern and count per inch to firm up what I'll require, and then proceed to shop for designs that might be reduced and printed on decal paper. Thanks again... Mike K./Swede70
paul alflen Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 NOBLNG, thank you for this. I see you researched and executed the idea well. Looks good. Good job , sir! Swede 70 should be on his way now!!!
