Indeed! We expect an in-depth, 50-page PDF document, with matching statistics, black-and-white photos (colored won't do), graphs (preferably bar graphs), a mission-vision statement, and a conclusion to your thesis. To be defended in front of a 10-member panel at the PICC.

But seriously now, do tell us the results! :-)

guys here are the results of Project Scopa decal Paper!!!

1.) Its really for inkjet type of printers #:-) #:-)

2.) You dont have to buy the Aerosol can that was being used on the instruction sheet of the package....you can simply use clear gloss paints by airbrushing it on the decal paper but make sure its already dry....is use gunze btw

THE DRAWBACK....

i feel the decal paper is somewhat too thick...havent really used it on a model though....so dont know if its borders would show up after the final coat....but really works!

NOTE: YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY THE AEROSOL CAN LABELED ON THE PACKAGE (COSTS AROUND 350) JUST USE ANY CLEAR GLOSS COAT W AN AIRBRUSH WILL DO

Would it react to microsol and microset well?

I second the query. For microset, I reckon it won't react - hell, it hardly works for me! Microsol is one thing however. I'm thinking that the clear gloss would help protect it from Microsol - enough that the decal would soften and not smudge the design. I had experienced that too much microsol can ruin a paint job - even if the paint job has been protected by lacquer clear gloss.

Flex, do try microsol on it and tell us what happens. Hopefully, your decal will fit snugly on the surface and the thickness won't be noticed without the printed design being damaged. Microsol is the red bottle, Microset the blue one. Available at JMN.

BTW, what's your printer? And can you post pix of what you did?
