Imperial Guard Font...

Ive been playing around with airbrushing Logos and vehicle identifiers on to tanks recently. I find that transfers never set properly and never look exactly right. Ill do a full post on the technique i use in a later post, but for the moment, i wanted to discuss fonts. Originally i was just using Arial in my tests and it never looked quite right. When i started to google it occured to me (duh!) that military vehicles use a military font. So after a bit of googling i found Da Font which has an excellent collection of military fonts. I went for Gunplay which nicely matches the style i am going for...

You may already have discovered this, but to get perfect decals you need to use Microsol and Microset:- http://www.scale-models.co.uk/tutorials/1921-microsol.html#post10095

I use these, and the effects are remarkable. Decals simply conform to surfaces that have curves in multiple directions and detailed surface texture. They look painted on. Cannot recommend them enough.
