Title: Fabric decals?
Post by: nmroberto on May 20, 2014, 04:35:32 AM

I could swear I saw fabric texture decals somewhere but now I can't seem to locate them.  I think they were clear decals with a fabric pattern to apply over either painted surfaces or lozenge decals.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Microsculpt.com makes full sheets of the stuff (vs. small panels --HGW)

Microsculpt do/did offer fabric texture decals. I went to find their website just now but it seems to have ceased to be. Anyone know more?

I think that the HGW decals are useable for 1:48.

   I`m pretty sure I saw some of the Microsculpt Sheets on EBay a few months ago, might be worth checking there. Although the Microsculpt Product is labelled for 1:48 Scale several of us here use it for 1:32 and it looks fine.
Cheers,

MicroSculpt is still in business in a limited way.  I just got 1/48 fabric decals a few months ago.  Send an email using the address on the website about ordering.  I think they look great.

Without going into particulars I have to say my last experience with Microsculpt left me with the distinct impression that he was winding the business down... and if so,  too bad; it was/is a good product.

Looking forward to seeing what Richard is up to with the linen decals...  ;)

Looks like Microsculpt's site is back up now. Just went there today.
