Cemetery from big city hobbies. I am in the process of putting together a burial scene on my layout. Can somebody help me out, I would like to put printing on the grave markers. But the are a little small. No decals in the kit. Any suggestions on how to do this. Thank You I Remain , Ed P.
Find one of those guys who draws the picture on a grain of rice. They could do it.
You could also send it in to one of the places that does custom decals. It would cost but I'm sure if they can make a decal that says Fire Extinguisher Inside they can put a name on a tomb stone

Make your own?
mwb: or someone....I had a source YEARS ago for decal paper, but then got a number of freelance private roadname decals printed (by a source now probably gone, too).
Will you or someone elaborate on sources and techniques to aid the poster, and
educate the rest of us? ( when I was doing this..I think I got the paper printed by a print shop long before computers, so am guessing this is a do-it-yourself project
now?)

Start by looking in the Scenery Sourcelist at the top of the page in this section.
The subject of making your own decals comes up frequently, no exaggeration - try searching the forum.
MicroMark and other sell decal paper for both laser printers and inkjet printers - both clear and white background paper.
If you have a computer and decent printer, and are willing to follow vendor instructions and thereafter play around experimenting with the whole thing, you can make decent decals. Printing white is the obstacle.....
There are far more talented folks here than I when it comes to doing this and I'd think that some would be willing to chine in - I'm merely passingly adequate, at best...
