Decking Decals by Bruce B.
Description by Bruce Beverage...
These deck planking decals measure about 8 1/2 X 6 a sheet. I feel that
five sheets will do a whole Minicraft model. Four sheets if the modeler
is very conservative. The decals show the correct spacing in 1/350th
scale with a plank board at five inches by about twelve feet. To apply
them the modeler will have to pre-measure and cut the pieces with a
straight edge before applying to the plastic. The decals should be
butted up when applied to the larger areas of the model. Do not splice
these while on the plastic as the razor knife will scribe a line in the
plastic! Proper setting solutions should be used to ensure good
adhesion. I used Microscale micro-sol and micro-set for my prototype.
The windows are from my window decal set. The prototype is rough so I
didn't fill any of the holes or gaps. It is intended for showing the
deck decals only. The decals are expensive to make as they use a
complete piece of decal paper. The cost is $5.00 per 8 1/2 X 6 inch
sheet.
decals are not colored.
They are clear except for the deck lines. The color has to be painted
first and then the clear lines decal is applied over the base color.
If you would like to give a review of this set, please e-mail me and I will post it to this page.
