As all of you know, I love creating teams for everyone. Decalling is a break from painting, as painting is a break from decalling. That's how I look at it. I have a few customers who want 95% hand painted, which is very tough to do, especially trying to get all the stripes the same width and straight. The other 5% are the helmets. I use decal emblems on all the teams. I admit, I Suck at doing helmet emblems.
Take another look at the Ducks I did for Raiderman...and the Colts. Those teams are 50% painted and 50% decalled. The stripes on the figures are all hand painted. You need a lot of trust in your steadiness, and your brushes. I go through all 3 types of brushes I use every 4 teams before they get slightly deformed and don't perform the way I want them too.
Just my 2 cents...
