I've known for some while that I am no longer needed here.

I can’t live up to that, BHM. You’re the GOAT.

There is only one Lord of the Mates. 

Only one who holds a case of original Hulkbusters.

And he should not relinquish power.

@luke314pi do you still have the Darkness decal you made and, more importantly, could you share them?

I finally used Polarboy's Days of Future Past poster after having it for years and not knowing what I wanted to do with it.  Thank you Polarboy!

How awesome is that, glad you found it useful.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of, or an unused sheet of, Luke's Shockwave decals that came with a Luke Crate a few years back?

Does anyone have a sticker paper they recommend?

I have a laser printer myself. It's been a real pain to find compatible white sticker paper. Luke has some that worked pretty well for me. I just picked up a new Avery product at the office supply store so we'll see how that goes.

I also often use the Avery clear label sheet. They make one that's basically just one big sticker. The thing I like about clear is that you don't have to try to colour match. Often I can get away with a clear label and painting the bits of the back with white before applying.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a designed decal they would reco to make this version of the Guardian costume?

I am pretty sure it is a color inversion of the original costume. If you use the photo from the database and can flip the colors in photoshop, it should look like this

Has anyone done a chest decal for Sue Storm that matches the "Best Of" Reed Richards?

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Luke, I noticed that the wrap-around forearm template is much longer in your latest template than in the last one I was using. Was that just to ensure overlap?

Yes when I switched to a new sticker paper, the forearm stickers had a tendency to pop up. So I made them longer to give them more overlap and prevent that from happening. 

[elhonez]

Thanks Luke! Makes a lot of sense.

I am struggling to find a good Inkjet decal paper. @luke314pi do you have any recommendations? I think the paper you stock is for laser only.

Unfortunately the company I used to get Inkjet paper from went out of business. I haven't tried any other brands since, so I don't have a good recommendation. 

[elhonez]

Thanks Luke. Are there any attributes I should be looking for? (or avoiding?)

Anyone else have success with an inkjet printer?
