Blood for the Baron!

i'm making 25th style customs of the action force guys and i don't want to handpaint the logos , does anybody have any scans smaller enough to print to make the logos on decal paper ? i'm not very good at the computer thing and everytime i try to reduce the picture to the right size i make it blurry

btw i love this place and have looked here awhile but like i said i'm just not into the computer thing enough so i never joined til now

thanks ty

welcome aboard mate.
i also find it difficult producing the decals and would appreciate any scans, anyone??
also how to duplicate the scan ie printing 30/40 per sheet instead of 1.
bit shite at this computer stuff myself.

sorry I cant help, as im not into the custom thing but just wanted to say welcome!

First of all, welcome to the gang! How did you find us?

There are some Word doc stickers here, designed for PC print out - I use sticky label sheets, drawback is they aren't waterproof.

There is a shop in the US who sell custom repro stickers, they have made up some Action Force sets for us:

Our resident customiser The Kraken Wakes uses custom-made transfers, maybe drop him a PM?

the transfers work the best, but it depends on how good your printer is! for some reason when i print really small logos for figures i loose definition & they look kinda blurry!
krakers is the expert!

I can do some for you, most of my figures / vehicles in the custom gallery have custom decals on, pm sent...

Welcome!

Painting the logos is not as daunting as it first seems. For example with the SAS, paint the S as a solid block, paint a triangle and a solid block s. Only then add the lines then tidy the outlines. The mistake with painting logos is to think you have to add the logo on top of the figure and get it right first time - you don't - you just need to use the base colour to create gaps.

Another tip for painting logos is to restore battered figures where the logos have some paint rub - they act as a guide to fill in the rest.
