Such a pleasure to see your Illustrator skills on display - I've been using it myself for 20+ years and it's great to see you pulling in vector elements from sites like Brands of the World and making these super-pristine decals. Kudos!

@barpfoto 5 лет назад

I like this. A good overall presentation. Somebody may have already pointed this out, but microset is not a setting solution. It’s basically just vinegar and water and it reduces surface tension. If you really want the decals to melt into the details, that’s microsol.

@SidewaysKing75 5 лет назад

Hi Will Thank you. Yes someone else has pointed this out. However I have been using this for years for this very purpose. As it states on the bottle it is a setting solution and it does soften the decals melting exactly how I want it to. I have used Microsol and it does basically the same thing, it does have the edge I agree on complex surfaces and angles but I certainly couldn't see any difference for the 'printed on' look, that is at least on the model surfaces I use anyway. Thanks for mentioning this alternative for others to use. All the best

@paulh2978 4 года назад

Excellent and informative video. I've only just managed to work out how to get decent markings onto decal paper, and using a rather old version of Photoshop, but even with normal varnishing thereafter, the images disintegrated on contact with water. After watching this, I went out and bought the brand of lacquer used in this video, to seal the transfers... things worked wonderfully at the first attempt! Using lacquer was such a small adjustment to what I was doing, but very important nonetheless. I make plastic model aircraft kits, so some of the more unusual markings are very difficult to reproduce manually. The sky's the limit now! Thanks again for detailing your routine... ;-). Regards, Paul.

Outstanding as always, making my own decals is something I’m just beginning to learn for myself - I’m a little daunted by the software application as I genuinely don’t have a clue how to use it - but this was great to watch! 👍👍👍

@SidewaysKing75 5 лет назад

Thank you very much. There's always plenty of reference on here how to use them and are very good. When they update the software and change the tool references and I'm pulling my hair out, somebody has always solved it and posted a video on here so there's plenty of choice. Stick with it you can crack it :)

Excellent video, thank you for showing how simple it can be, as I have no knowledge of drawing packages I will stick with ms Excel or word and just need to get the correct paper for my printer. As I will be doing this on a clear Lexan body shell and applying from behind I have to make note to reverse the decals, (number plates, logos etc). Thanks again. 👍👍

Good stuff. I was worried about the quality of small decals with an inkjet, but I will give it a try now. Thanks!

@SidewaysKing75 3 года назад

There's some great inkjets and the majority of the standard ones are 1440dpi where as standard lasers are 600dpi .... I use both and if it wasn't for lacquering after printing I'd use inkjets more.

@stltrekmodels.4157 Год назад

I am working with 8 x 11 inch sheets as the decals I am making are for 1/200 scale Romulan Warbird models that I am 3D printing from the original Star Trek series. I like the idea of printing them on paper first to check them. Thats worth its weight in gold. I am more accustom to Gimp though than Vector programs. I have several large scale Star Trek models that I am designing, so the Decals will be larger, but TY for the information.

I used the Laser Waterslide paper from MrDecalPaper and found lacquer painting was still required to help the colour adhesion onto the vinyl. I have just switched to the Sunnyscopa brand laser paper and it seems to be much more durable. I guess most people are using Inkjet rather than Laser, but some of you may find this useful!

@kevinbirnbaum6460 3 года назад

FANTASTIC! I am looking to make the Aztek decals on the Polar Lights 1:350 Enterprise-A. The kit maker doesn't make them anymore and instead, you have to buy 5 kinds of pearlescent paints, an airbrush, and a MASK SET which is $85 all by itself. I do not have the patience nor the $$$ for all that. It is totally insane.

@daxio1485 9 месяцев назад

Really impressed thank you. I am missing some decals for a kit so will maybe have a go making some. One question: have you tried/considered pigment based inkject printers like the Epson Pros? I use one for my art prints because of their archival qualities - fade resistance etc. Not sure if it would work well on decal paper, and also with the lacquer, as they are really designed for thick art paper. Thanks again.

@GTLandser 3 года назад

I am not a graphic design person, but what really made your video stand head and shoulders above the others was your mention of: 1) *why* Illustrator and vector graphics is best, 2) what a couple print settings usually do, and 3) explaining why microset improves the look of the finished result. Also, your video editing was excellent. So many terrible, shaky videos out there, and thankfully yours was not among them!

@karimhuerta597 9 месяцев назад

Great video, two things that I can share from my experience: 1: I design my decals in a workspace of about 4 times bigger than the decal blank sheet, this will allow you to have 4 times more details and when you are ready to print the printer will automatically resize but it will keep really good detail 2: I prefer to seal the decals with flat clear, somehow the decal looks better and when you apply clear coat to the model they will still be shine
