PeterC(MrMondeo) Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi, nice job so far, i know what you mean by the decals, there are a right pain in the butt lol, As for help with them, i use Micro Set and Micro Sol on my decals, it works well and shapes them to almost any shape, but when its doing its thing, the decals will make you cry at what they are doing ( they wrinkle up ) http://www.modelairplanebuilding.com/decals-and-markings.html i know its a plane in the link, but they are the kits that need the bigest help in getting a decal to form for the painted on look Hope this is of help to you, and keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Wow, that's a good job on those decals. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyglu Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think your doing a awesome job so far and your better than me with them decals. If I could suggest only one thing to you it would be to keep any parts not being worked on under some sort of case. I just use the 8$ plastic display cases ,but It keeps all that dust off your model and really pays In the end. keep up the good work and share the final results.

krazyglu Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Wow this thing came out nice. Looks like your pretty well gifted if this is only your third build. That's great your boys want a model like daddy ,but I can see how that might conflict with you actually being able to buy one for yourself Great job on the build and I cant wait to see more.
