That looks great! What did you use to print them?

Well, which time? I printed some on a b/w laser, some on a color laser, and some on a color inkjet. Learned that laser paper doesn't work too well with inkjets.
My color laser looks like something out of a disaster movie and I'm not sure that the fuser is fully working, so I sprayed a light coat of clear on them.
I actually used the ones from the color laser printer, a Dell C1660. Found it cheap a few years ago. Not so much now. I really need to replace it.
I copied the SPAM banner from the site and used a photo/design editing tool to mess with the colors, chop it up, etc.

One side.....the decals are a tad skewed, as am I. I am using World Paper Clear Waterslide paper for Laser printers. Good stuff. Quite thin. When it comes off the backing on this ribbing, it better be pretty straight. Not much moving it around. If you try, it wants to bunch up it is so thin.

I don't think it's that noticeable. Looks nice

Thanks, Tom. It is even morerer awesomer now. Sometime a screwup can work. I misplaced the decals on the side of the trailer...in my mind anyway. Had room for another owl.
Hey, this could be a GB idea...build something and use SPAM decals! Just kidding.

You know, that is doable. Print a stack of different model kit boxes on paper, glue to a thicker stock paper, fold to fit the trailer opening.keavdog wrote:That’s cool Lyle. Open the doors and fill it with kits lol
