<br />Shaun: <br /> <br />If by 'some' you mean 'make your own decals', its relatively easy if you have a laser jet printer and are minimally computer literate. <br /> <br />All you really need is: decaling paper; an image which you can scan, capture off the net, or create yourself; gloss coat spray (to seal the image once transfered to the decaling paper). If you want, there are simple specialist programs available to teach you how to do it step by step. Your results will be as good as commercially available decals, or very nearly so. <br /> <br />The only shortcoming is a standard printer will not print 'white' images. For that you need an Alps model printer. Alps is still made but not distributed or tech supported in the US. <br /> <br />Randy
