Hi All
Some times you will need to tranfer a downloaded part of a plan or image onto the wooden part you are dealing with on your build.There are several ways to do this ,the old tracing paper method,guestimation or the hot iron transfer method.I didnt invent this idea myself but was told about it by a fellow modeler years ago.
Its a very easy and quick way to transfer images and goes as following,borrow the wifes pride and joy[iron to me and you] and set it to hot or high,then cut out the paper image you need and position it in place on the part you want it transfered too.Some tape to keep it in position is also a good idea.Then when your happy with its position run the iron over the paper once or twice,this should transfer the image onto the part you are dealing with.
I have attached some images from my Yamato diary to ilistrate this method

Top tip mate,

Hi Andy,

thanks for the tip but I have a question ,

if you place the paper (ink side down) will you not get a mirror image?

please advise,

thanks in advance

Hi Rob,

I thought of that but what if the plans are for details on only one side?

check in print preferences/properties, you should be able to select print mirror, that way it avoids other software.
