Been held up with other Christmas related tasks recently, but made some progress today.
Enamel basecoat's gone on.
Clearcoat. This gives a nice surface for the transfers to stick to without trapping air under them.
Meanwhile, printed the waterslide decals and clearcoated them too, to stop the ink running when they're soaked. The pink box around them is to line them up in a card template to cut them out on the laser.
Cut them out on the laser...
Stuck them on.
The cut edges will be touched in with a brush to get rid of the white edge of the decal once they are thoroughly dry. Then another layer of clearcoat.

I guess that's a pretty average job of applying decals...
JOKE!!! Amazing work as ever, just thought I'd add a disgruntled comment to try and even things up!

Are the water transfer decals on white or transparent film? I have found that they only work well on light colors. If the background was darker, I had the problem that the colors also became too dark. Perhaps the film I used was simply too thin
The fork casting looks perfect, amazing!!!
