decal ?

[Anonymous]

I need to know where to get a N-scale John Deere decal for a factory I want to model. Does anyone know where I can get one[?]

You mean the name "John Deere" in white letters on a black background, in really big letters? Nobody, but it's easy to do yourself with a little black paint and white dry transfer letters.

If you're looking for advertising, Woodland Scenics makes a small, old JD billboard as a dry transfer, and Microscale has a small billboard or two as decals. Check their websites for illustrations.

If you're looking for more modern JD billboards, check out www.billboardsofthepast.com for jpeg images of real billboards for sale. Capture the jpeg and print it out as either a paper sheet or decal.

EDIT: oops; I just checked that website, and the JD posters are GONE! Still, there's a lot of neat stuff there...

You can go to www.johndeere.com and capture the graphics.

With Internet Explorer, go to the site, and right click on the graphic. Choose Save As and stash it somewhere. On my machine (XP Home, IE6) I ended up with a GIF file. You can use a number of programs, even MS Word, to print this. You can get Decal Paper on-line, or from some LHS's. Fortunately, the graphic is all green and gold so you can print it with any color inkjet printer.
