Workshop One - Garth Groff - How to make your own Decals

How I use Ghost White Toner to make water-slide decals in a Hewlett-Packard laser printer, with emphasis on using Mac Pages software. Along the way I will explore sources for both free and purchased fonts, recommendations for paper, and hints on how to get the best results from the various tools and materials. Useful prototype lettering information will be included in the handout, but will not be discussed in the interest of time. A selection of my models will be on display.

I might add, this is NOT a hands-on clinic, but more of a lecture with examples and visual aids along with swag

Modeling Theme - Critter

We hope to see you there!!
