4-17-2016 Article. Making Decals Using Tissue

Post by Neons »

This article will show you how to make highly detailed decals almost photo spec for your models. It requires some computer skills to make and size the decals and a printer. There is a site on the internet that supports how to get started making decals with tissue. There is still room for further improvements as people experiment and improve the system. The shown war bond picture was printed on white Jap tissue. It turns clear. I masked and painted a white background on the plane before placing my decals. It works.

If you go here you will get to see the progression over time in making decals. at this time maybe 17 pages long.

This is an older article but still quite useful especially mounting tissue.
