Hi all, Just to let you know, my How To Make Your Own Decals Ebook is moving right along. Every day I find something else that needs to be discussed, but it now looks to be finished and available by February 15. It better be, since I am scheduled to make a presentation on that date for the local IPMS group! You'll have your choice of multiple formats, including epub, mobi and pdf. Price? Either $3.99 or $4.99. Anyway, below is the current table of contents for your consideration.

One and all, For those who are interested, the decal ebook is making good progress. Already a little over 5,000 words. Just so you will know what will be in it, below is the current Table Of Contents. There may be some adjustments to it, but this is probably 90 - 95% of what you will see.

Hopefully by the end of December 2014, though it might be a few weeks later due to delays caused by a trade show model that I recently finished. Any and all comments while the ebook is being completed will be most welcome. Richard

Since most of us either want something different than the box provided decals...or need unusual/no longer available decals for a particular project, such as my current Monogram F-105...I'm going to bite the bullet and ask the question you see in the title. In a little more detail, what would y'all think of an ebook that was available in multiple formats...including mobi, epub and pdf...and very reasonably priced? There would be an in depth discussion of available papers for inkjet printing, how to create the image in the first place using Photoshop or Gimp, limitations and peculiarities of inkjet printing and more. Of course photos of finished models with the created decals. I've been threatening to do this for a long time. Let me know what y'all think and I'll see if I can quit threatening and put the project on the list. Richard
