Camoflauge job looks good. Ive never heard of this technique before.

So do you print it on paper, dip it i in white glue and lay it on the model, then leave it to dry, paint, and then peel the paper off?

What type of paper do you use?

Is it difficult to remove or does white glue just peel off?

I might try this out...

Seems easy enough. Thanks for posting this up, ill give it a try. Might be easier than the blue tac method ive been using.

Cheers.

I like how crisp your camo came out! I think I will try this on a kit I am about to start. One question though: how much glue did you add to the water?

I hope this works out for you guys as good as it does for me i have yet to try it on a more complex shell with alot of angles so far i have used it mainly on flat sided vehicles IE; hummers, MAN trucks and other similar vehicles. But with time i think it will work just as fine with a bradley or a more angled sided vehicle and the best thing with this if you need to do it over just re wet it and try again plus it's fast. With the glue i used a ratio of 60%glue - 40%water. The lines do come out crisp and sharp and touch up on any "chipped" areas is a snap. Just make sure you use a nice new blade to make the cuts in the paper other wise you may risk tears or paper fuzz.

Alright, sounds good. Thanks for the ratio. As a matter of fact, the kit I am planning to use this method on is Revell's MAN 10t truck.
