Hello there.

I am on the way to finish my scarab occult terminators, and I tried to place the TS transfer (the drake eating itself) on their soulder pad. But the transfer is not "flat" on the shoulder pad, it seems to "warp"

Is there a tip to avoid this problem ?

Thanks !

Hi ! There was a tip used in GW's tutorial about transfers, you're supposed to cut it halfway from the top so as the transfer doesn't fold. But it was used with an Ultramarines transfer, so it was cut in a transparent place, I'm not sure it works with any other transfer, as it may cut your emblem in half and it may be visible.

There are also products that can help. I hear good things about micorsol/microset, but have not tried them myself.

I cut small slits in my transfers, but as mentioned above, that’s easy to do with Ultramarines.

This is the best tutorial out there. Follow it step by step and you'll have outstanding results. Micro sol and Micro set are absolutely essential and worth the tiny cost. ONe bottle of each will last your lifetime.

Thanks folks !

I had never heard about Micro sol/sel before, thanks !

I need to replace my microset and microsol now. Mostly because I knock them over every now and then. :-(

Haha, I just dumped both mine over in the span of a week. Didn't secure them down with blue tack like I normally do with washes.

Using microsol softening and fixing solutions I got my 1st CAV, Infantry branch and airborne wings decals to conform nicely to my marines:

AIR MOBILE SON! Nice job!
