This is the most helpful video about decals I've seen so far. Thanks! I'm not into modelling or anything but I saw a sale on Amazon and wanted to know what the fuss was all about! :)

Hey ELP where'd you go mate?

My daughter and I put together a great pinewood derby model with your advice. Thank you. She'll remember when she's older that I gave her my time and hugs and kisses.

I love applying decals, They sometimes can be that finishing touch. A great decal in the right place can make a model shine. Sometimes I like the model to speak for itself with no decals. Nice video sir.

concise and straight to the point, thank you for assuaging my fear of waterslides.

Your tutorials really help, keep up the good work! Also I have a bad habit of buying complicated kits! Could you suggest some basic starter kits?

Hey! it's me, Apple Works. I'm loving your how-to series. i'll be setting these as my standard rules whenever i'm building. :)

Wow this helped me a ton. Thanks! I never understood how to apply those until I watched your video. And i like the results

Very nice video. Any suggestion if decals are old any fragile?

Thank's bros, you made this look simple. Did my first decals following your instructions and everything look's fine!!👍

Just getting back into the modelling after many years away your videos are brilliant for rejogging the memory and for learning new tricks. Quick question? have you ever built the Doyusha Nostalgic Heroes Series 1973 Nissan Cherry X-1-R? I own the real car and plan on building a replica of it and a replica of the actual race car version that Nissan use to race.

Nice tutorial, new and been struggling! Helped a lot! Thanks mate!

This is an A+ tutorial! This worked immediately for me!

thank you so much for this video. though i wish there were easy ways like stickers to be able to put it on the specific area. and i am a beginner but ofc it is human to be intimidated when not have done the technique in the first place

New fan here, hope you're well and back on KZread soon- thanks for the vids

Excellent! Simple and easy to follow instructions

Happy new year elliot

thanks have never done decals myself but this video is a huge help Edit: have done my first decals and it works! It really is just as easy as It looks in the video

Best advice ever, seriously. Amazing job.

Thank you for posting this! This’ll be a big help for my model train project I’ve been too chicken to start.

Come back bro!!!

If doesn't have micro set ? if the result will be same ? And what is the use of micro set ? Thanks

Thanks great tutorial short and simple

Can the edges of a (not yet wetted) decal be sanded, in order to " feather" the edges, so to make them blend in to the lacquer, and not be seen as lines surrounding the decal's letters, graphics, or whatever?

This really helped a lot. Thank you.

Very helpful video. Thank You !

Thanks for the video needed this info best tutorial yet. Hats off to you. 👍🇺🇸👍

I´m going to get started into the models. Do I need something more apart what the box brings? I mean, paint or stuff like that? Thanks man.

With most kits you need to buy paints glue and brushes separately but some kits include them 😉

How important is the decal set fluid? I had a bottle but have lost it. Will water on the model surface do the job just as well?

Excellent video, thank you.

Great video, helps a lot, thanks!

How well do they do on metal?

Thank you. This helped me a lot!

After struggling mightily with "micro thin" waterslide decals on my 2nd Estes Cherokee E rocket (find it at Hobby Lobby), I think part of my problem (unwanted sticking, unwanted sliding, folding, distorting, wrinkling, twisting, etc) was due to applying them to a satin paint finish, then applying the top gloss coat finish. I'll try applying a gloss top coat first, then applying the decals after it's dry, then a final top coat of clear gloss. To be honest... I think I'll still fail. The decals are so thin, they auto fail no matter what I do. Such a pretty rocket. I'm desperate at this point. :(

Thank for the tutorial, I will apply a decals on my Gunpla model kit

Very helpful....thanks 👍

Had a couple of questions, would really appreciate some insight; 1. If there is already paint (Tamiya Acrylic paint in my case) and the decal goes on top of the painted area, does the Micro Set damage the paint in any way? Such as remove or blob it somehow? 2. When the micro set is applied before applying the decal, the micro set is noticable in that it is very "glossy" compared to the surrounding area. Does that "glossy" appearance eventually fade, blending the decal with the background? Wonderful video, very informative and I look forward to an answer if possible! I'd appreciate answers from anyone, not just the uploader.

Hi so ive just got back into modeling haven't done it since teenage years, come across your tutorials and thought they were great then noticed the dates of them so watched your vlogs and could understand if you've stopped or taking a break. The thing is i couldnt find out if you have. So my main question is Can u maybe update channel or website ? Hope your doing good anyways and your tutorials were great to watch, Would love some more in-depth ones maybe more on the lines of heavily moding kits, many thanks

Perfect! Worked for me, Finally my F399 with tabaco livery!

I once made an Airfix Spitfire and put the decals of the RAF roundel on the wings. The model sat in my cabinet after it was completed. when i came to look at it again the decals just came off like they weren't stuck on at all and even flaked away. Any ideas why?

Clearcoat after applying decals

Okayy.. But what happens if the decal you want to apply is microscopic? Like those red dots for Japanese planes for Tamiya battleships / aircraft carriers ? :)

Great vid thank you.

If I paste My decal there is like a plastic kind of border around is this normal ?

Only guy who does this without using a load of specialist equipment!

tq very much,your video help me apply decal easier 😄👍...

What's up elliot, been two years man

I would figure the gloss surface bit was explanation enough but since you mentioned clear coat, what about applying them to a surface that has been clear coated?

Roll over decal with a very wet Q-Tip. Decal keep rolling up with it. What am I doing wrong?

Hey @ELP Modelling! Should I apply the bodydecals before or after the clearcoat?

@ELPModelling

+Mathias Sammer Generally after the clearcoat. You will have a nicer surface to apply them too. Also you run the risk of the clear eating the decals if its too hot.

You need to clear coat them for them to last, they may peel off over time if you don't
