Great video Dom. Ha a colour bleed issue years ago so never went back to make your own decals, but tempted recenlty to try again. That spray twice trick sounds the solution

[@BootsontheTable]

I have done a number so far and I havent suffered bleed, but definitely a few coats of varnish to seal it helps

[@BrushQuill]

@@BootsontheTable i suspect that printers and the pper have gotten better too

[@joramamodellbau3987]

Very interesting video, very well explained and shown. Your procedure can certainly also be used in other model building areas. Thanks for sharing, Dom! Greetings, Joachim

[@BootsontheTable]

cheers Joachim, yes the same approach could be used on buildings or vehicles easily enough

[@collin4592]

What a great video to have! I will be using this to create a swine flag for my marauding landsknechts

[@BootsontheTable]

Go for it!

[@maryhinge6334]

Excellent idea Dom. Thanks for showing it off. 👍

[@BootsontheTable]

yes I saw this somewhere and I thought it was worth highlighting

[@TableTopWolf1984]

Great vid, I've been doing my own flags lately for my crusaders just with regular paper, was contemplating making my own shield transfers but I've decided to just paint them instead. I've got a laser printer so its easier to do the transfers just wanted a challenge though.

[@BootsontheTable]

yes I was a little skeptical how well the transfers would work, but I am impressed and must use it more myself

[@Ziggster90]

very cool especially for mass transfers

[@BootsontheTable]

yeah dead easy too Liam

[@vicsminiatures7949]

I'm an idiot. Why haven't I done this before. Great video and thanks for sharing it.

[@BootsontheTable]

funnily enough that was my very thought too Vic!

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Excellent stuff Dom. Great tutorial mate cheers.

[@BootsontheTable]

thanks Paul - hopefully it was useful to some

[@62seano]

Great idea Dom thanks for sharing that

[@BootsontheTable]

cheers - hope it is useful

[@srekcin]

Great idea Dom - like it - ordered my paper already - save a lot of pennies!

[@BootsontheTable]

Cheers Nick - hope you are all safe and well

[@srekcin]

@@BootsontheTable Yep good thanks - hope all fine with you and the girls - busy painting my Bavarians - usual me though a figure a week!!! Didnt realise you could get the paper for transfers - save me a lot of time with symbols for the cavalry cloth! Nightmare to hand paint! Missing gaming - hopefully come the Autumn we can try and get together again - cant see much happening this side of September. Pass our love on to the girls - keep the KZbins coming - we'll have to do a few battle reports for your site.

[@BootsontheTable]

thanks

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Unfortunatly Amazon have sold out of the craftovator a4 clear inkjet water slide decal

[@BootsontheTable]

shame - but I guess they will get more in in time

[@horuslupercal9936]

That looks fantastic Mate! Can i ask who makes those miniatures? Cheers.

[@BootsontheTable]

Footsore Miniatures mate

[@leont66wargaming31]

Genius mate. Will definitely be doing this. Do you use Matt varnish or gloss when you spray the paper.?

[@BootsontheTable]

I used matt as it was what I had to hand.... not sure it matters to be honest

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Always wondered how it was done. Don't think my useless ancient printer will be any good for it though!

[@BootsontheTable]

yeah mine has decided to pack up after showing this!!

[@3dWargamer]

There now out of stock in the uk lol

[@BootsontheTable]

damn I made them that popular!

[@craft-o-matic2377]

@Boots on the Table with Dom Nice work! Did you make or buy the actual bare shields? Thank you1 Lisa

[@BootsontheTable]

Cheers Lisa. Usually I am painting up figures from my collection and these would have been shields from them

[@wcwindom56]

I own the Armorial Gold Heraldry clip art program. This comes with thousands of real heraldry as well as allowing you to create your own. I am curiosu. When applying the decal to the shield do ever use any sort of Decal Set fluid?

[@BootsontheTable]

If it is straight on a shield or flat surface I havent needed it. I am experimenting on doing emblems for tunics and surcoats and hell you need a steady hand but solutions would certainly help I would say
