I wasn't really asking it mainly to you foxrex101, its just an open question, but yeah I might pm CG if I can't get the answer here.

Here is an improved version of my Rex decal.

Hola Wow!

Looks more like a demon.

So I make all my decals on paint and its hard to put large symbols on them so I was wondering, does paint.net or GIMP allow you to do a transparent thing with symbols to let you see the decal where the white is when you put it on, I guess there's something like that on MS powerpoint but I can't use it?

I don't quite understand the question, but I think you're trying to say that: You've made a symbol separately on a white background, and you want to move that symbol onto your decal, but you don't want to take the white background along with it?

The best way to avoid that is to draw it on a transparent layer in GIMP.

Also, CG, what the name of the Decal Softener you use? (if at all)

Yes that was what I was trying to say, thanks for telling me GIMP lets you do that MikeZulu I might download it now.

Humbrol DecalFix 28ml, bought from Lendons. Wink

But recently I've been experimenting with not using it, and it seems to work just as well.

What about on the legs and arms - does it make a difference? I'm thinking of buying some so I can more easily put some arm decals on my 762nd (not just shoulder decals anymore)

If it doesn't make a difference I don't want to waste my money...

by Chaotic Good Sat Jun 06, 2009 7:13 pm

Ah. If I recall correctly, you use more extended arm decals, right? It's transpired that my designs have come out not bending too much round the arms - more on the flat bit than anything else. If they were more extended, or somesuch, I think I would need it, yes. However, I'd say do a trial run without buying it before committing yourself. Because I could be wrong.

No, I just used the shoulder pads, and added stripes around the wrist in some cases (indicate rank in my legion) - the only reason I did that was because of problems with using whole arm decals.

But, yes, I should experiment with it for a while...

by Commander Vulcan Sat Jun 06, 2009 7:24 pm

Hey guys, I just thought of an idea of adding the clone's comm gauntlet to a clone decal so I just did that, nothing really special about it but if people want a clone design with the comm gauntlet on it, you can use it.

I give credit to someguy577 for the original design.

Woopsy.

What I meant is that I presume you'll use extended arm decals. I wasn't concentrating too much. Fail on my part. Wink

Hey guys lookie here!! I have decals resized and printed on photopaper to see what they would look like on glossy paper. All of this was possible due to the awesome decal maker CG!

Thanks CG!!

There you go!

The trenchcoat I can't do; I'd say try buying one from MMCB. His are awesome.

Someday I'll have to do a Cad Bane minifig. Surprised

Sounds simple, but the 'back views of the legs' are difficult because of the holes in the official legs. I'll try, though. Wink

Nah, I used to have it as 7 different decal pieces, now it's all one! MWahaahahahaha Laughing

by Chaotic Good Tue Jun 09, 2009 8:16 pm

Must be a pain to cut out, though. Wink

by MikeZulu Tue Jun 09, 2009 8:21 pm

Wait, do you decal your mouthpieces or is it already printed on the helmet?

If you decal them it might be a good idea to add the mouthpiece to that decal...

Otherwise, great job!

by LPAnimations Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:36 pm

Another design by me, again, not very good, but I need it, and seeing as a can't seem to find a decal of an AT-RT driver anywhere, so I made one.
