The following question came from Jim Maine " )


What do you use for making the light weight transfers on the Road Kill series kits?


From : Don Stackhouse

I draw up the artwork using a combination of my CAD program and then Microsoft Paint. The end result is a .BMP (bitmap) file. Yes, I know there are more sophisticated artwork programs than "Paint", but everyone who uses some version of Windows has a copy of Paint. We plan to have those .BMP files for the different RK models posted for downloading on our website sometime soon.

From Paint I print out the file on either 8.5" x 11" label stock, or on plain white bond paper. If bond paper, I then fog the bac side of it with 3-M 77 spray adhesive, then cover the sticky side with a sheet of waxed paper. Cut out the artwork, peel off the waxed paper, and put the stickers in place on the model. Go over them with a covering iron to help the paper form to the shape of the model and to "set" the adhesive. Label stock works well, but this spray adhesive set with an iron really sticks well.
