Cool...will it change the aztek pattern as it currently looks?

Sorry for all the questions...I just don't want to ruin the paint job. If it does I'll just buy another decal set to replace in a few years.

Thanks Ziz

Two different colors...both flat enamels...

There isn't a mixture I could brush on to the decals? Maybe a watered down lacquer mixture...give a couple lite coats over 2 or 3 days to the decals?

Sealing Decals but Preserving Aztek Pattern

Greetings,

I have placed my decals on my enterprise D...using Micro Set and Sol. However I know I need to spray a lacquer coat to seal them in ... but it will ruin my aztek pattern. Any ideas?

Right but i wasn't talking about engine exhaust or initials scribed on the back of a chair.....for a picture of a Star Trek ship....2d....it's not inconceivable that a future computer/printer could take a few 2d images from pictures of an old 1988 amt enterprise d kit and 3d print pieces of said mod...

But why can't a future computer take the 2d image and turn it into a 3d image? How do we know a computer 20 or 30 years from now can't do that?

Why couldn't future printer take a 2d image and extrapolate it into a 3d version then print that? WHY I ASK YOU!!!

I'm so excited for this tech to develop. Someday we will be able to throw an image into the printer, specify the size, and press print...and bam we can get a 3d copy.

Imagine being able to 3D print pieces to build a studio scale Enterprise D. Someday...looking forward to that.
