I have just finished printing some decals for a fellow modeller, and I thought it would have been nice to take a picture of the finished result. The subject is the coaching stock letters and numbers of the Great North of Scotland Railway, a complex font with four main colours, gilded, shaded and highlighted. I started from a alphabet sample found in a book and kindly provided by my fellow modeller, redrew all in vector-based SVG format for portability, did the colour separation, the complete layout on the decal page and finally printed the whole stuff on my trusted ALPS MD-5500.
Here is the result.
Each notch in the ruler equals to 1mm. There are a few little scratches, and unfortunately the gold foil used in the printing process turned out a bit dull when photographed. Anyway, I am reasonably happy with the final result.
