Makes me want to get back into some of these myself. Is that a Clover House dry transfer? Looks like one I have.

I like the bulk and precision you get in the larger scale, especially with the care you take in building. I am also wondering about the lettering.

Was a bit harder to apply than expected- kind of crackled off the backing onto the siding - but then it turned out "good enough" over that siding in O scale. Still, the lettering sets that Clover House has available just encourages me to make use of them for these projects. Great fun and "cleaner" than decals.

That's supposed to help them release more easily. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8985 Nelson458 Fireman Posted - 01/01/2016 :  3:34:43 PM       quote: Originally posted by deemery Try warming dry transfers beneath a hot desk lamp for a while before applying them.

Clover House has changed printers and the new backing is much thicker than the old and the print is also somewhat different and has some sensitivities to some brands of clear coating as well. The set that I used on this specific car was probably older stock as it was on very thing backing material. In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.
