PatW Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I built this box stock, but had to renovate the decals as the paper they were on had turned to card. I scanned these to the pc and re-printed them a few times adjusting the colour and brightness, although they are still not exactly right. The smaller decals were too difficult to bringback into focus. I also added two of a few new home-brewed decals I'm trying to perfect. In this case both are on the front wing, one has a painted hand and on the other a coloured paint run. Edited November 25, 2016 by PatW 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastieBoy73 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That's a great looking model. What kind of paper did you use and where did you get it from for printing your own decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Thanks BeastieBoy73. I tried both white and clear backed inkjet (or you can get laser) decal printing paper from the crafty computer paper company, which gives all of the instructions as well.

BeastieBoy73 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Many thanks for the info. I have a Renault 4 van I want to build up as a Kraftwerk Tour de France support vehicle. Artwork isn't an issue but wasn't sure what to print on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince1159 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Lovely job Pat,fascinating story and the fact that all 3 are still around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Hi Vince glad you like it! That's my end product that people like to see my sometimes quirky builds. As you say it's interesting to see all three still about. As a Race/airfeild marshall at Silverstone for nearly 30 years, I loved to see the older cars just being present or better being raced at their big classic race event a couple weeks after the F1 GP each year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
