Let me just begin by saying these are incredible creations! Absolutely
stunning. My question is WHERE are you buying these so called stickers?
I'd like to know where you are finding sheets of green and gold stickers
etc. Or are you just just buying some sort of clear sticky paper and then
applying paint to this to create you own decals? Either way let me know
where you are getting this stuff and how you apply it to modeling. I would
love to try this technique myself! Keep up the good work. I look forward
to new creations.
