Building a BRM Megane slot car kit.
And it would be interesting to adorn it with a scale GRM decal... I guess I could use the square GRM car number placard (?) instead. Again, in scale... I wonder if I can scale some down and print them...

Not cheap, but seems straight forward:

Ok. I found it on the site. Now I need a good clear shot of one of these to try to turn into a decal. And thank you JG for the bumper sticker download...

Shot base coat of paint the other night and shot lower body color tonight... Now to walk away for a few days to let the spray bomb enamel harden..

And the "official term is "number panel". read it on the internet. Must be true. Scott

The hardest part is finding good sticker paper. From there you just get a vector graphics file or a good hi-res pic, scale and print. Laser printed stuff seems to last longer than inkjet.

At first I thought it was a T-Jet, but it looks a bit different. I haven't fiddled with my T-Jets in a couple of years. Hell... my box of cars is sitting next to my buddies track in his basement...

I've printed decals, but not anything like a super-thin transfer decal for a model.

Well, it is not exactly an AFX arm... There is a company called Auto World (No, not that one... This Auto World bought the name rights from Oscar) and AW makes reproduction T-Jets and AFX cars. And they are close, but not quite the real thing. But good enough for me for the most part.
