Shadows Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Your LEGO should make you happy. If it does, you can't be using it wrong. See how simple? ;-) Quote

Lord Of Pies Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Imperial Shadows has summed it up, basically, if you are happy with using decals do it! *y* I tend not to, as I have a fair few torso's for some reason!! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 28, 2007 Governor Posted October 28, 2007 I don't use decals myself BUT... Certain mini-figures (such as Imperial Armada, the merchant and the Spanish Pirate with the purple vest) are rare and therefore expensive. So if you wanted to build a vast Imperial Armada army then it would be much cheaper to use decals on green and red torsos. Quote
ZCerberus Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 You may also considered dipping into the EXPANSIVE torso sticker/decal design library we have here for other torso designs. They are very well crafted and will allow you to make some very special, and custom minifigs!! Quote
Scouty Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 It would depend on your material as well. Stickers are a cheap, good way to get decalse onto your torso, but are thick and noticable. Water-slide decals are a bit more expensive, but provide great results, though, if the decal is played with alot, it might break (I think). Both ways are great. I look forward to see what you bring!

Captain Ka-Boom Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks for all your opinions. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 29, 2007 Governor Posted October 29, 2007 Now get decal-ing young laddie so we can see what you're upto! :-) Quote
Captain Ka-Boom Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 By the way i am using stickers dont know where i should get decal paper though Using Xyron 150 handY! Quote
Capn Frank Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) i use cheap typing paper and gluesticks :-D have the print quality at the highest so that the ink soaks into the paper (or sticker X-D ) to help get rid of the white edges when i cut the paper. I use decals for custom figs (like US Marines of 1812) otherwise i don't use decals (yet ;-) ) Edited October 29, 2007 by phred Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 30, 2007 Governor Posted October 30, 2007 By the way i am using stickers dont know where i should get decal paper though You should probably get it from the store. X-D Try asking anywhere that sells stationary, art supplies or a large newsagency. Quote
