About This File
Warshrikes Space Marine Chapter, as commissioned by Claws and Effect.
Note that this commission called for a silver logo on black background. As pretty much only ALPS printers are capable of printing silver, and those are a rather rare breed, this decal has been designed with standard home printers in mind. This requires a specific, and rather simple 'cheating' technique to produce the logo as intended.
- Prepare the surface you intend the decal to rest on by painting it silver.
- Print the PDF file onto clear decal paper. Since most home printers do not use white ink/toner, the areas of the file that appear white will print clear.
- Trim the decal from the sheet, being sure to leave a good bit of black surrounding the logo.
- Apply the decal following normal procedures (Winterdyne's Applying Waterslide Decals guide produces excellent results).
- Once the decal has been fully applied (including final gloss coat), use black paint to fill in the non-logo portions of the background surface, as well as blend the black portion of the decal into your background.
- A final clear matte or gloss coat, and you're done!
