Decals were (finally) printed up for the Mars Snooper on the same sheet as the Scavenger name decal.In the picture to the right a positioning template was made out of cardstock.
This helps place the fin number decals in the same relative position on all fin sides. It also insures the side of the long number is parallel to the side of the pods.
The long tip of the name decal coincides with the masking shape of the blue on the upper body.
These home printed decals actually came out looking very bright because they were set on white painted areas of the model. Normally do-it-yourself decals can be a little translucent if placed on a darker background.
Gorgeous rocket!!! Ask for the easy and simple tip on decal placement!!

ReplyDeleteHi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteThat decal placement template goes back to the old Centuri Saturn V instructions, step 83. I've used it on a lot of models since.
On the Snooper you've still got to "eye ball" the decal placement after using the template because the three numbers are different widths. It still gives you good general placement, though.
