Anybody here do decals?

Russ, that reminds me that I did use that technique on some GERN covered hoppers. I have also done similar for other decals - for example, a portion of the decal background needed to be white on an "experimental" freelanced Santa Fe car I did. I painted a white rectangle and then applied the clear film decal over it with the white showing through. (note: the weathering looks better when the 3 foot rule is applied! )



And here is the seagull done on white paper with an orange border and painted. The seagull was photoshopped from a photo of the prototype.
