The Swabian Decal Solution

Here's the master of the new & Swabian decal. My thanks to Bill Colby for scanning the decal sheet. I used Digital Image Pro to color in the base figures and also to remove the bluish tint from the scan as a result of the original paper color. As you can see I used a bold and colorful hand. They printed out crystal clear, dried perfectly, and are now covered with a very light spray decal coating. The build should be up by Monday night.

The decals printed out very nice with good color separation between the color and the black. What brand decal paper did you use?

Salute,
Steve

Steve, I used plain old Testors clear stock for inkjets. I also have another brand which is more generic that I might try as well. I think the Testors sheet might be a little thick, but I won't know that until I slide them off. I printed with my HP 5740. Not a fancy printer at all, using regular inks. Thanks for the interest.
