Below, and on subsequent pages, are decal sheet graphics I am making
available for public use. These are only available for your personal use,
not for any commercial use or sale. I am not selling this art work, but
giving it away to anyone interested.
There is a link to a pdf file near the graphic image of the artwork.
Clicking on that link should open the pdf file on your desktop. I will
make a high resolution JPEG available if I can figure out how, but that
is stumping me right now.
You can then print the file on blank decal paper to create a decal for
your use. I recommend going to a Kinkos, Office Depot or a similar
establishment and using their high quality color laser printers. Often
these are available on a self-serve basis and you can print off a flash
drive. Blank decal paper is available from many sources. I use
MicroMark’s 8.5 by 11 sheets which feed easily in the big printers. Not
including the paper, the printing process is well under a dollar at this
time (2017).
Once printed, the sheet should be over-coated with gloss lacquer. I use
three light coats. Unlike commercial, silk-screened decals such as those
from MicroScale or Cartograf, there will not be a clear coat ending right
outside the edge of the colored part of the decal. Instead, the entire
page will be one giant decal and you need to trim close to the edge of
your custom decals before soaking and applying in the usual manner.
Decals for you to print and use
These decals allow you to create 1/87th scale trailers or smaller
trucks marked for the Dunder Mifflin Company of “The Office”
fame. Included are a few warning signs for the back doors, and
registration numbers with “DM” for the company (i.e. not a leased
trailer scenario). I did not include data, builder plates, side warning
placards, and other details that you can source elsewhere. Maybe
next time. Microscale 87-852 should be a big help with additional
decals.
