to be fair there are allready some specialist transfer makers out there, its just a question of searching them out, on a marine modelling front there are people like BECC, who make transfers/ decals/ vinyl self adhesive items and ships flags, if you want something a little more bespoke then look in the yellow pages or similar, i have found several companies within a 15 mile radius of my home where you take in artwork, or an image or a template and they will make full colour stickers or rub downs from your supplied images/ artwork, i once made a giant display model of a camel trophy landrover in 1 to 6th scale, and needed all the rub downs to be produced for it, the full colour A4 sheet of rubdowns were custom produced for me at me desired scale from the artwork i gave them, it took about 36 hrs for them to do and it cost me about £12 for the sheet, ( this was about 5 yrs ago however)

so if you have built a blinder of a model, dont spoil it for inadequate or poor decals, shop around, do a bit of searching and get what you need produced..... if you have spent all that time on the model why not do it justice with some pukka decals !
