So my wife asked me the other day about the sticky things I put on my models. Sensing an ulterior motive and I cautiously described what decals were.She went away apparently satisfied with the answer.I waited for the shoe to drop to find out why she wanted to know.I didnt have to wait long. Her she shed has a ding in the door and she wanted me to put some decals over it to hide the ding. So yesterday I did my largest decal job ever.Here are the reuslts. darbyvet attached the following image(s):

I applied a clearcoat over them to protect them from the rain.

Looks fab Carl but to enhance marital harmony even further I would have thought you would have gone to the trouble of hand painting the designs and really showed off your skills.... that would have impressed her even more....  Regards Alan

Regards Alan Shes too impatient for that.She always complains I can spend hours on a model but dont have time to do anything she wants.This was a quick and easy way to get some brownie points!!! Carl
