I need a custom decal can you help

Hi All
I am working on the rear engine Celica project (in the in progress threads) and I am toying with the idea of a custom decal to flow from the rear of the front arch back and to a point over the rear flared arches. Are there any artistic people out there you want to be part of this project??
Let me know
Mark

Well, I'm kind of artistic. Not sure what you really want though. Give me a good pic of the side and what kind of style you want and I'll see what I can come up with.

You get waterslide printer paper so you can print anything you want onto decal and use it on your models.

Re: I need a custom decal can you help

the testors stuff is nice IMO. I've already used it for CF and for NOS decals. Still trying to get some other things to work. The boxed system which you want to get is pretty cheap and then you can get more sheets of 3 clear and 3 white for cheap too. I walked inot Walmart with 20.00 and walked out with the boxed system and 5 extra things of sheets. So I've got about 16 white and 16 clear sheets. So much I want to print, so little ink..lol.

Re: I need a custom decal can you help

well... I started by looking at the real stuff and scaled it down on a paint program. My CF isnt that great though. I'll try to get some good pics but al the ones I upload it looks like squares instead of diagonals. So, Lotus, how bout them decals? What were you thinking of?
