I've seen some PE stencils for that purpose on a meeting recently .... I just don't know whether they where Aber or another brand .... when I find out about the name, I'll let you know.

On the PE stencils where the markings for both the cases as well as the ammo itself.... looked quite good.

I'll dive into this and when I find out, I'll get back to ya.

I use old-fashioned rub-on dry transfers. They are bypassed by the new laser printer applications of each and every cheap PC, and therefore not so popular anymore. Some shops still do sell them, often at far reduced prices. Check out specialised shops that do artists stuff or office eqt.

hi pfc I dont know for sure if drytansfers work on wood you have to ask generalfaliure that

but how to make yr own decals :

any good hobby shop sells them sheets
you have to make a design on yr computer in the right scale ofcourse and then print it
but I think you need a laser printer but IM not sure so ask in the shop first.
