Decal size adjustment (1 Viewer)

[daruss]

Hi, is there anyway to make 1/35 decals into 1/30 scale ?? Anyway KINKOS would be able to print out a bigger size.. I have some cool axis propaganda posters in 1/35 scale... BUILD-A-RAMA doesnt make enough of a variety..

I'm pretty sure I've seen some tutorials/SBS's on some modeling sites that go over creating and printing decals using desktop publishing apps, I'll look and post the links back here when I get home tonight.

Prosit!

Just use your computer and resize them to what ever size you want and print them. Thats what I do with the propaganda posters and even the signs on this building.

Good point, Alex, I didn't think about just printing them on paper.

If you are talking about using actual decal paper, here an online article:

http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/ click Tools 'n' Tips at the top of the page, then Decaling. There's an article called "Making Custom Made Decals" on that page (sorry, I can't extract the actual URL)


Prost!

You might want to take a look at the Hudson & Allen posters. These were professionally printed at a high DPI and are exact copies of wartime examples. These are sold by Treefrog and are listed under Hudson & Allen Studio and include German Homefront, Occupied Countries and French Commercial posters.

Magnificent buildings Alex and Ken! I must say Alex that I am particularly impressed by your handmade version. It is truly a unique work of art!!

Thank You Much! This is the small display model I made for Shannon last year. The stonework was carved from plaster, the half timbers were made from wood textured to represent period adz marks, the waddle was made from H&A detailing solder and the daub from epoxy putty. All of the scenics and details are from hudson & Allen too. Notice that the three different sides are different and typical of various areas of Europe to properly display the four differnt poster sets.
I made this sample in one day and painted and sceniced it the second between sculpting other patterns.
All the best!
