I have a plan to make customise a couple of my own vans as either Komatsu or CAT service vans. I have been thinking about the decals and have found the Inkjet water transfer paper on ebay. My guessing is that you can google some images into a word document and then print them onto the transfer paper.
I reckon it would be a lot of trial and error gettting the decals the right size.
Has anyone tried this? is worth even venturing into it?

Re: Printing your own decals.
If you want images I suggest a white decal paper as against clear! Clear tends to get the base colour on the model and if it's a light coloured van it lightens the whole decal and makes it look crap!

Re: Printing your own decals.
Cheers for the tip joe. Have you done your own? How would you get them to scale? is it just a lot of printing to get it right?
