Waterslide Decals - Train and Graffiti Mix

Green Stuff World decals with train and graffiti motifs

A decal sheet with a combination of railway lettering and graffiti. A painted wall or a tagged wagon is a detail that places a scene in the present or in the later twentieth century at once, and yet it is extremely hard to paint: hand-sprayed graffiti in a small scale almost always ends up looking like a smudge. A decal gets around that problem.

Use

The motifs are used on wagons and locomotives, on underpasses and retaining walls, on sheet-metal fences, on shop shutters, on containers and on the back ends of buildings. They also work well on older equipment left standing in a town, where graffiti explains how long the vehicle has been sitting in one place.

Work tips

Apply the decal onto a gloss surface, otherwise a matte shadow will appear around it. Release it in lukewarm water and lay it onto a moistened area so that it can still be moved. On a coarse texture use a decal softener and press the decal down with a cotton bud so that it follows the masonry. Once dry, spray over it with matte varnish and dust the area lightly so that the graffiti does not look new.

Who they are for

• Builders of urban dioramas
• Modelers making scenery for a model railway
