I used a sharp pair of scissors to cut as close to the decal as I possibly could. Then I applied the transfer in the usual manner, dabbing the excess water from the surface. Then I brushed on a generous coat of Microsol and let it sit for an hour or so. The one thing that I learned about using Microsol is that it works, but you have to give it time. Patience is the key. The decal will eventually conform to the surface. <br /><br />If there are any wrinkles left after it's 85% dry, add another light coat of Microsol and let it set. Sometimes I used a cotton swap to flatten out some of the wrinkles.The Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315968360994994482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469516761779836560.post-76903976868233399612009-04-24T09:04:00.000-05:002009-04-24T09:04:00.000-05:00They look great, and you've given me a few ideas o...They look great, and you've given me a few ideas on spicing up my Sternguard.

You can have wonderfully painted miniatures and still be boring thanks to lack of "the little things" which tie an army together. Any given army will have loads of variety and even uniforms throughout a unit might have various changes resulting from mission profile to equipment to the simple fact troops will indeed modify what they are issued and add their own personal touch. I can't really see the Space Marines as being any different. Indeed, if the suit you are wearing is countless centuries old or brand new or a mix of the two, every trooper will have some indication of who he is in addition to a name tag. Heck, I've seen units of troops in real life that look nothing at all like a typical recruiting poster after being in the field for a few weeks.JamesCabakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477430492642839862noreply@blogger.com
