I like being able to say "I made that, 100%", and since I don't have the equipment to make my own decals I would have to use someone else's work which does not sit well with me.

That being said, I love the decals that other people use, and it was those well executed custom teams using decals that drew me into the hobby (it was someone's "flock of eagles"). Also from my experiences with placing decals in model building I totally respect the ability of those who utilize decals. I know that it is not as easy as one might think to get those amazing results!

so... no decals for me, and I challenge those decal people to see how much they can push their 100% painting skill.
sorry I forgot........
