You can print them on something like large label paper or alternatively print them on paper and then use double sided tape to attach it.

I just use paper. But they sell something called Testors Decal maker. But it was basically the same thing I was doing with paper but with the added step of transferring the decal so I went back to just printing it on paper. I put it on with super glue and then cover/protect it with an acrylic varnish.  For that I took a pic of the crotch logo scaled it to the size I wanted and printed it. Here was the one I used -  I did the same for the HHH on these HHH figures trunks.   And the "Road Warriors" writting on their thighs - CS 9 Hawk Fixup -(red lettering)  CS 9 Hawk Fixup - (yellow lettering)  Custom AWA Animal -  DA Road Warriors - Hawk-  Animal -  |

Wow PJ those came out fantastic. I cant access decals here so i was trying to find a varnish or something i could put over a printout to give it extra saturation it needs to look real. Do yours look too noticeable in person?

They blend pretty nicely. I use Delta clearcoat all purpose varnish on mine.

That's a pretty awesome method you use PJ, do you think it would work just as good with multi-purpose sealer or would varnish be better to use?

Rated R NinJa I've used both in the past and both work fine...But I just display my figures so I don't know if either would be better for those that play with their figures. |
