Still learning
I was thinking about this on the way home tonight and then there was another thread today started by a member who was showing their first weathering job. This was ironic to me as I also just purchased used box carts to learn how to weather and graffiti them myself as well. Now I didn't want to hijack that thread so I started this one. Someone mentioned graffiti decals on the other thread which caught my attention...why you ask.....well I live near a rail yard not too far away and there were 4 boxes lined up with real nice graffiti on the lower 1/3rd of the cars and I was so tempted to stop and photograph it for later use. Now comes my question...decals....is there a way of printing out those photos of box cars if I had taken them onto some decal paper on a home computer, then cutting the decals out of the graffiti portion, and applying it too a box car. If so, what type printer is best for this and what type of decal paper would work for that application. I keep seeing so much cool looking graffiti on these box cars when I pass the yard, I think I would like to learn to replicate them onto scale cars, but by decal method, not hand painting, im not that steady of a hand anymore LOL.
