[WWI] A/G Decals, what now?

[james dickie]

Excellant point! Sorry I forgot to mention it...and you're right, a gray surface definately works best. I use Polly-Scale French WWII Blue Gray, it just seems to work good for most lozenge tones. To avoid inks "bleeding", I spray several LIGHT coats of clear coating, and I've found that Testors decal sheets don't need much soaking time in warm water, so luckily I've never had a problem with bleeding.

The colors on the decal material are  quite translucent even printed in the most dense mode. White or light  gray base coats yield very bright colors and the darker the gray base, the  more subdued the  colors. It requires testing over several shades of gray,  but you can zero right in on the desired look.
