    Large decal on decal paper, advice please

    This weekend I'm going to be printing out a large decal approx 7 inch by 3 inch, it's going onto decal paper and although I've used this paper in the past I'm thinking the decal will be a tad fragile when trying to place it. So do you reckon I should divide it up into say three pieces and join...

    Ok so its 02.30am and my minds wandering again :) I'm considering buying a 3D printer. I know nothing about them, but I have seen an increasing amount of models, figures and props done on them.

    Decal Paper help Please

    Hi all, I was just wondering how people use this, I'm asking as I tried it a while ago but after a few months the decals I had made came off. I know I should have used a coat of something over the model but didn't bother. So what do you use to fix the decal onto the model if I don't want to...

    Best primer for resin?

    I'm working on a few resin kits I imported from the US and having issues with the primer coming off. I've washed the resin and used a fine grade paper to prepare them but when I remove the masking it also pulls off the primer. I normally use Halfords primers with no issues, even on a previous...

    Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVI

    Just thought I'd post a few pics of my Revell 1:48 Supermarine Spitfire . I actually started it about 3 years ago but lost the canopy, I ordered a new one from Hannants and a day later found the original :) Then I lost the door, so I bought a new kit just for the door. After 12 months I decided...
