"1:2400 Aircraft Carrier Deck Decals" Topic

These are my 1:2400 aircraft Carriers with my deck decals (considering that I can't paint my way out of a paper bag, decals for small-scale ships are the oly way to go, for me)

Japanese Carriers:
Panzerschiffe IJN Zuiho

Very nice.

Can you do white decals?
Or in the white examples did you leave them unprinted and paint the base white under?

Sorry if I am demnse but to confirm you make your own decals. If so how ? … Microsoft Paint , decal paper and a printer

BTW great job they look fantastic !. Painting details is one reason why I am hesitant to do carriers

Thanks for the pix. Good to see how they look on different manufacturers.

I went for the 1/6000 decals from Toshach, and will pick these up for my 2400s as well.

Thanks for your comments!

I purchased an ALPs printer, but it was damaged in shipping. As a result, I had to be more creative in producing white decals. My decals are printed with a hi res color laser printer on clear decal paper. The ships are primed and painted gloss white, then I apply the decals using decal setting and decal softening solutions. For more details, check out my website: pomroyproductions.com.

I'm nearly finished with my 1:2400 scale line. When I'm done, I will be creating the same decals in 1:1200/1:1250, 1:1800, 1:3000, and 1:6000 scales.

I thought CV11 Was The Essex.

My bad that's CV9.

Hi all!
I have good news and bad news… The good news is that I'm releasing a new product, Italian and German air recognition symbols in 1:2400 scale. The bad news is that I am temporarily withdrawing one product, German, Italian, and British carrier decks, until I can redesign them (probably in a week or so). I've discovered that the Panzerschiffe DKM Graf Zeppelin is 100 scale feet (1/2 inch) shorter than the GHQ model. I was actually speechless when I discovered this! I knew something was up when the Panzerschiffe Aquila had no foredeck, when the plans I had showed a prominent foredeck. So, I'm actually creating two sets; one, in scale, for the detail-minded GHQ/Seabattle crowd, and one for the budget-minded Panzerschiffe crowd.

Once I get this unpleasantness taken care of, I'll set about converting the 1:2400 decals to 1:3000 and 1:6000. As an added bonus, I plan to add planes to the flight decks of the smaller scale carriers!

Take care!
Bob

Hi folks!
I've just realeased a couple new products: 1:2400 Italian and German air recognition symbols, 1:3000 CV decals for the USN, IJN, DKM, Italian Navy and Royal Navy, and 1:6000 scale decals for everybody. Soon, I'll also offer 1:6000 scale CV decks with appropriate aircraft.

Cheers!

Hi,

Bobs website for Pomroy Productions seems to be down. Anyone know if he is still in business? Interested in his IJN 1/2400th carrier decals.
