Thread: Hmas & plfc

That is amazing, how on earth do you do that? Are there any tutorials etc? I am very keen to do similar type things (I am still in the Navy)

WOW. 100% professional

I have sent a PM to Jack.Tar. Thank you for your feedback and thank you too Parris. I appreciate feedback (good and where to improve). I learn from other forum members and only too happy to share my knowledge with others.

Lookin' good there Daryl in the photo there is also another small bit of what may well be lint just above the "M" as well I am sure as you said it is not on the pen hehe. Looks like you have got these by the "proverbials" cheers ~ John

Very damn good Mate. My father served on the HMAS Uralba during WWII. He is now in a nursing home with dementia. I wouldn't mind getting him something like that to show his mates up there. Can you PM me with a cost please.

The decals look great daryl.
What brand of Waterslide decals do you use?
I have been using Lazertran Inkjet decal paper.
What software are you using to print the photo onto the decal?

I am no different than the other guys except I have played around with a bit of label casting but not to huge success so I am keen to hear the answer to the question that have been asked ? how do you measure the size of the label that you make for your sierra ? I have a template that David (Dj penevens) sent me but have been struggeling with it so I/we all look forward to hearing your answers soon ?

Cheers Ian

The width of the label is the length of your tube. For the length, mark a spot on the end of your tube and line it up with a mark on some paper, then roll the tube until the mark comes around again and mark the paper again. The distance between the marks on the paper is the length.

Best to try on scrap paper and cut out it out, then wet it and apply to tube to see how it fits before using lables. I then insert boxes on a blank sheet within a WORD or Powerpoint document before inserting the artwork within the boxes. Then print out a sheet on normal paper and cut one out to see if it is still the right size.

Once you have the right size, fill up a sheet full, then print away on lable paper.

Hope this helps

Cheers
