Re: Unusual Aircraft Models From Unicraft
I have printed my own decals in the past, Testors was giving away software to do it ... plus there are tons of free "T-Shirt" making software that works. I never found a way to make them any better than what I could buy. What I did find was it made a HUGE difference in what the decals looked like on the model depending on what solvent was used and the base paint they went on. I have seen tons of models where it looks like the decals are painted on but the decals are all done in the last few years with very thin decal paper ... not the decals that come with kits.

Have you tried any of those Print Your Own programs??? Seen a lot of free multi scale sheets available online. Especially for WH40K type stuff.?

Re: Unusual Aircraft Models From Unicraft
My complaint about lack of decals is from 2 reasons, both I have run across numerous times. Trying to find the correct size of markings for a particular subject and the added cost! It is not all that unusual to have to spend $20 to get decals for a project therefore making the original project a whole lot more expensive than it needed to be. I no longer knowingly?will buy anything I need decals for, it just isn't worth it in the long run.

Re: 6 More Solar Observatories closed and This could be the reason!
The TOTAL CONSPIRACY "Simple" Answer, Ron. = MJ-12/13 has forced all cellphone manufacturers to preprogram all cellphones to automatically delete/distort any and all such "UFO" images and beam them immediately to the NSA. So unless you just happen to have an old film type camera all setup to the proper shutter speed, film speed, lens focus, etc and you develop that film in your own darkroom . . . you get jack. --- And, of course, if it's on Film . . . well, it Must Be FAKE. Right? LOL
Hey, doesn't everyone have an Iphone with a "special adapter" that they keep aimed at the sun every day just so they can catch images of the UFO Stargate Wormhole??? . . . Yeah. Okay. RIGHT. === More MJ-12/13 UFO misdirection from another of their Tools, or just another Total Nutter looking for their five minutes of internet fortune and glory. Either way, from reading the comments, it worked! LOL
What I don't get is all the Nutters who think UFOs and Angels are related??? --- When growing up, I was taught that Angels (and many Demons/Devils) had wings. So WHY would they need Flying Saucers to get around??? Do their supernatural super wings get tired, or are they just getting lazy these days??? Why walk, when you can ride??? LOL

Re: 6 More Solar Observatories closed and This could be the reason!
Hmmmm, ..... The "FBI", with Blackhawk helicopters, with teams climbing towers, shuts down and evacuates a solar observatory and shuts down six more around the world for "Security Reasons" so blatantly that it makes most of the major media news outlets and gets splashed all over the net??? === Either MJ-12/13 has really blown a gasket and decided to go way over the top In Your Face, . . . or there is ~ something else ~ very different happening here. ?????????
WHY shut down anything when they and their puppets at NASA can always come up with a "logical & natural" answer for anything they want??? And to make such a circus about it??? = Why is nobody watching the Other Hand???
NEVER TRUST ANYONE!

Re: Unusual Aircraft Models From Unicraft
They have some really cool projects but the cost without decals and experience I have had with those odd ball companies will keep me away from them.
