asmurff Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Does anyone know of a source for guns and ammo decals that can be used on woodworking. I'm going to make some ammo boxes and want to spruce them up.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 can you cut pictures out of catalogs and magazines and poly over them? I did something like that as a kid but I recall the paper being thicker than todays. We also may have sprayed them with hairspray to seal them first. You also might need to test finishes on the paper first to see if any reaction occurs from todays inks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Smurff I found boxes I liked and copied them with paint pens. Lightly draw the lettering and designs you want and the ''paint'' the lettering and designs with the pens. After everything dries you can antique the boxes to present the appearance you want.

asmurff Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Both good ideas! I know the model store here carries decal printer paper and a spray to coat them with to prevent the ink from running, I'll have to look to see if I can do the catalog pictures that way. I'll see how steady I can be with the pens, I may need stencils. I'll get to try several ideas since I want to make 4 or 5 boxes, for ammo and reloading supplies.
