Plastic model decals provide the fine details that can’t be easily achieved by other methods. In the era of computer literacy, there are more options for decals and models than ever before. It’s reasonably easy to design and print our own decals, and even make 3D printed models or almost anything we like.
Model making has quite a long history. There have been model plane kits for almost a century, along with military vehicle model kits. Model trains go back even further, with realistic landscapes and buildings. Making these models appeals to a certain primal urge to recreate the things we encounter in our lives. They provide a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment to many people.
Outside of hobbies, some models are useful for business purposes. Architects build realistic models of proposed buildings, which provide a good indication of the potential end result, far better than any drawing. Aircraft models have been used for research and testing in wind tunnels. Museums use models as part of their exhibits.
3D printing puts this model making ability in the hands of anyone who has a decent home computer. If we can learn to use the new software, we can 3D print almost anything. We just need to invest some money in a 3D printer.
Plastic model decals can also be printed on decal paper with most home computers and printers. As most of us already have access to a printer, the cost is minimal; we just need the special decal paper.
There are a few options for creating decals. One is to create a design with a graphics program. This is a good option for flags, emblems, signs or labels on a panel. Another option is to scan an image for printing. This produces good results for photorealistic images.
At Dr Decal, we encourage creative designs for hobbies or practical business purposes. With inexpensive decal paper, these designs can be printed on most home computer systems, and used in a variety of applications.
