Re: Tutorial suggestions
I'll nominate myself to take on your suggestion of a "Stripping an IXO / Atalya Metro 6R4 model" tutorial Nicky, but give me a week or two to go through every stage and photograph it, and then I'll get it uploaded on here.
Re: Tutorial suggestions
Cheers Dave, and no problem its not urgent, just thought I would put a thread on here to start this part of the forum.
Re: Tutorial suggestions
Right my suggestion is for a thread on "How to apply decals"
I got some Jawi decals today thanks to Rob and will be collecting the base car from srs in a few weeks so need help in workin out how to apply the decals, are they water slide or do I need decal softener, I can't even tell if they are precut or not, thankfully I got two sets so if I make a b@!!s of the first set I can clean up the car and then ask someone else to apply the decals for me

Re: Tutorial suggestions
peter all decals from jawi need cut. they are waterslide and will move about for a good while till you get them position'd.
decal softner not really needed,only on decals that go over arches or round bends, i use a hair-dryer to help sink the decals round the arches/corners.

Re: Tutorial suggestions

Would I need to apply any sort of a varnish when the decals have dried out??

Be careful with the hair-dryer. I know someone who has a melted windscreen and wipers to show for a bit of over exuberance!!!!

Re: Tutorial suggestions
Had it set too high
Wouldn't be used to such hi-tech equipment, don't use them that much
Peter - a good few cheap decals here. Might be worth buying a set or three and experiment on a model or two.

Re: Tutorial suggestions
Hi Billy. Sorry, I thought I'd included the model in the title ( must get to grips with this forum thingy!).
It's a Corgi Vanguard Escort - quite nice on the outside, but could do with a little love elsewhere.
Cheers
Don
