Decals

[neodark]

Is there anything that i can use to make water slide decals adhere or be sealed better w/o top coating ?

[delta408]

A top coat is the only thing you can use to seal decals, unless you want to use nail polish(?)

[neodark]

i see, i cant wait for this bad weather to go away i want to practice topcoating thats completely uniform via spray can..


EDIT:
BTW anyone here can show me upclose and detailed pictures a very clean and uniform topcoating via spray cans

regarding scopa decal paper .. i tried it and it seems ok...

it is quite good if you plan to make black or grayscale decals. colored decals are ok if you plan to stick it on white surfaces, otherwise, it will be faint

i tried experimenting on it when i acquired 1/100 HG destiny. and i still use it in conjunction with MGs as seen on the pics i posted on the other threads.

here's the destiny just in case ... it was my experiment with decals so don't be too disappointed ok? very minimal paint job niya ... di pa pulido pagkakagawa

SCOPA decal papers costs about P300 (correct me if I'm wrong) and it is available on National Bookstore. There are also SCOPA decal papers for laserjet printers. Clear topcoat exclusively for SCOPA sold separately, can be found on same bookstore

im planning to attach the decals/stickers but my tweezers at home are too big for most of the stickers... does national bookstore sell those tiny/narrow-ended tweezers i see from modeler wip photos? and is the so-called ex-acto (pardon the spelling) knife also available in national bookstore? il try to check within the week when i get the time

TIA

I never use tweezers for water slide decals, the only 'tool' I use is toothpick and cotton buds, since all I have to do is wet the decal and 'slide' it into position and the toothpick does it nicely.

But for stickers, I guess you'll need it, you can buy a 'real' hobby tweezers (Tamiya) at Lil's.

The Xacto knife is available at NBS but you'll only find #11 blades. You can buy a 'just as good' set w/ 3 handles and various kinds of blades in 168mall for less than P100.

thanks for the info!
btw where is the 168mall? is that a hobby store just like lil's?
and what Xacto blade # is recommended for the MG stickers? (the really small ones)

168mall is in Divisoria. It's a 'Tiangge' market.

I guess the common #11 would do just fine.
