SteveM | 02-Apr-08 02:12 | Now we have properly sized decals. The stars were more like four times too big, I practiced on plain paper till I was happy with the size. Time to let them dry for a few days then seal with crystal clear. |
sweetwillie | 02-Apr-08 11:20 | That' sure a good looking model there, Steve. I'm waiting for decal paper to be shipped. How do you know the right setting on your printer to print your decals the correct size? |
SteveM | 02-Apr-08 12:19 | I measured the size of the over sized decals and then the area on the plane where it was supposed to fit. A quick divide provides the percent scale. Then I print low quality on plain paper (to save money), cut out a sample image and lay it on the plane. If the fit is not right I make a scale adjustment in my printing settings and try again.
Where you actually set the scale for printing depends on your computer's printing system. But generally is it somewhere near the options to select the type of paper and what not. Normally you just leave the scale at 100%. |
sweetwillie | 02-Apr-08 12:42 | Well, you're no help. That's the way I've been doing, but I figured there was a better way, and that you would know it. What a disappointment you are!:-) Just kidding. So you're going to use the clear decals. It ought to look just great. It's sure a nice covering and paint job you've done.
