Vince Maddux Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Good greif, Couldn't they have bought a decal sheet instead of painting the markings? Vince Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 So the blue diamonds aren't painted on? Am I seeing that right?

Impatient Pete Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 On the 130 pic, it looks like a precut vinyl stencil. Makes since actualy. When you look at pics of some of the fonts that show up (I'm thinking on Navy squadron names) they are obviously fonts that have been downloaded and cut, either with a laser or some kind of plotter/cutter.
