WWII Nose Art Decals?

still? i thought the daughter took over?

Yes - the most recent being the Pyn-Up Series from Meteor. I seem to recall that they are doing some full subjects, as well as some generics.

Here's a review:

I'm not aware of any but I used to know a guy who cut pictures out of Playboy and pasted them on the noses of some of his models. They were some of those tiny pics and I don't think there are many suitable ones in the magazine nowadays. Far too many airbrushed and bleached blondes.

Might be why there's a redhead centerfold this month but Christie has been running the corporation for 12 or so years. I still prefer the old centerfolds. The photography looks more real now than what they're doing presently. Besides, back then the girls were all 'older women'. ;)

Yeah, now they're all kids my daughter's age. 8-(

Or failing that (because SWMBO ~threw~ those magazines out), go to eBay, look under "pinup" and highlight and save whatever pinups look like what you want.

Well, the short answer is that scanned images are bitmaps. That means that the image is a series of dots of different colors. When you attempt to scale that poor image it just gets worse. The computer really does not have the ability to enlarge or reduce all those little dots, so it either attempts to guess at what should be between the dots when enlarging, or removes dots when reducing. The end result is usually terrible. Only acceptable method in my opinion is to completely redraw the image using a graphics program. These, (Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator are examples) use vectored drawings that don't have dots. The learning curve for these can be intimidating to say the least, and the cost also is somewhat high. Now if you have managed all of the above, you still have to get it onto some kind of decal paper. Another whole chapter with that task.
