Hi everyone,
I am building a 1/600 scale kit of the Cunard passenger liner Queen Elizabeth, and am seeking help to create white deck game markings. The kit came with a decal set, but a couple of mishaps ocurred:
1. I applied the deck markings to the painted deck (despite the fact they were a little bolder than the correct scale) and overcoated them with matte varnish. However, I used a water based varnish and subsequent masking removed the decals (doh!)
2. Water level mark decals for the bow were supplied, but floating them off the backing revealed they were completely clear with no white markings (excellent!)
Have you any other ideas about creating white decals on a transparent background other than using the now unavailable ALPS printer, which seems the only one which ever printed a white ink?
Alternatively, am I barking up the wrong tree with attempting to do this with decals, and is there another technique I could use?
Cheers, Ross
