                        How To Decal by Paul Boyer
                        Posted by berny13 on Wednesday, August 2, 2006 3:21 PM
                        I have been slapping decals on models for over forty years.  I just read "How to Decal" by Paul Boyer in the September FSM.  I found it full of information.  Over the years I forgot or neglected some very simple steps.  This article was like a refresher course for me.  Very good article by Paul Boyer.  Approve [^]

                        Yep, it was. I've never tried Microscale decal film, but I'm going to give a shot on some old decals I need for an upcoming build. Thumbs Up [tup]

                        I dunno, but I'm going to try that trick on this old set of decals as well. Looks like old parchment.

                        Yes, another great article! I tried Paul's method and behold! No silvering! I'm never disappointed in trying new methods of doing things from FSM. Thanks, Paul!
