White window decals?

[9.8m/s^2]

I'm working on the Replicas Unlimited Cylon Basestar, and I'm looking for a way to do all those tiny windows. Ideally, I'd like to find someone who already makes rows of tiny white dots as decals, but failing that, is there anyone who will custom-print some for me based on a PS or other image file?
I suppose I could poke little pinholes in masking tape, and then mask and paint each section individually, but that thought just makes me cringe...

I have this model and i was about to start it. The way i was going to do it is take a toothpick or pin and dip that in white gloss paint.

I am not familiar with the MR base star. How large are the windows?

The reason I ask is I have had excellent results using the heads (not points!!) of straight pins. Simply dip the flat head in paint, and the little bead of paint floats nicely on the head of the pin. IT's easy to accurately apply dots of paint this way.

I hope this helps.

I once asked JBot decals to do some for me and a friend of mine for the iFactory Rodger Young, and those decals are available now at his website (in two sizes and shapes, rectangular and simple dots). Just go there and have a look.

Woohoo! Thanks Marco! These should be perfect!

Sanity....slowly....returning...

Woha, minimum $20 order at JBots? Can someone show me how they look on the model before i splash out?

And here I was going to suggest a punch and white decal film.
Good to see you around, 1g.

Oy....hundreds of tiny white dots on my kitchen table...irresistable to my cat...
If all else fails, I can always do them in black on laserjet...won't have quite the same effect, but should still look cool.

Heya Ter! I'm still around, just not as much as I'd like. Too much life getting in my way...

Mh, they work for me (tested on 2 PCs, at home and at work), so I have no idea what I could do...

If you PM me your e-mail adress I can send them to you by mail.

Try using a white gel ink pen. Works great for me.

Yes, I used such a pen before, but when you have to make many straight lines of equal sized windows nothing beats those decals...

I use the gel pen mostly for small round windows. For larger round or rectangular windows, I either mask and paint or use white decal fim cut to size. You can buy it in 8.5 x 11 inch sheets at my LHS. I think they're intended for use on RC airplanes or cars.
