Ship decals

[ubersnug]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any templates they use for making ship decals for their B5 ships? Or if anyone would be willing to sell any pre-made ones?

I've just finished painting a Command omega and a normal Omega Destroyer and would really like to finish off the detailing by adding on the EA Insignia and, if possible, the names of the ships on the left and right of their front hull along with squadron designations.

Any help would be most appreciated!

I seem to recall TGT has some decals, and or a company he gets em from? I could admitedly be recalling wrong...

The company that makes em has gone bust I believe.

I still have quite a few EA flashes left on the decal sheet I got a while back, but the decal paper's gone off a bit. PM me your address and I'll send them on. No cost since I don't know how usable they still are.

Black Lion Decals do custom work (they did a load of modern Chinese armour decals for me, very high quality pretty cheaply). All they need is some JPEGs of what you want and the sizes.

Assuming you have your own printer, try this.

Resolution should be 300 dpi. Included are EA decals for the Omega and Hyperion (the latter are not as wide and lack the top of the "A", this is intentional and based on screen shots).

Also present are name and serial number for the Lexington plus bow number 21. I don't care what any Internet sources say the Lexington's bow number should be, I watched "In The Beginning" in detail and there's at least one clear view of Lexington with bow number 21.

For the Omega, there are name plates and bow letters for Agamemnon. It should be possible to use Photoshop or some similar software to replace the name with another of your choice if you set the font correctly.

And as a bonus, there are also some of Sheridan's B5 shields.

On which paper should it be printed?

Decal paper.

You can buy some here:

Once the print is complete, you need to let the ink dry thoroughly, then spray it with acrylic lacquer to seal it.

Can try this as well.
