Decals & Graphics

Give your layout, diorama or miniature scene authenticity with dry transfer graphics, numbers, letters and stripes. Dry Transfer Decals and Model Graphics^® add realism to buildings, fences, signs, boxcars and more! Intricate detailing with dry transfers is quicker, less complicated and more realistic than with wet process decals. They transfer easily in seconds to any smooth or textured surface, around contours and into grooves. Position where desired, rub gently with the Woodland Scenics Dry Transfer Burnisher, and remove the carrier sheet. Depending on the specific application, Dry Transfer Decals and Model Graphics dry transfers are suitable for O, HO and N scales.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the best method for removing a Dry Transfer from something that is painted with acrylic paint?
  
  The best method we have found for removing dry transfer decals is to press a piece of clear tape onto the decal, rub with a burnisher or dull pencil, and then peel off the tape. The Dry Transfer should come off fairly easily, but it may take a couple of applications to remove it all.
  If there are spots of decal remaining, soak a cotton swab in denatured or isopropyl alcohol and rub over the decal. The remainder will come off easily.
- What do you recommend to protect Dry Transfers after application?
  
  We recommend using a brush-on, water-based clear gloss.
- What do you recommend using to stripe roads?
  
  To make road striping easy, we suggest using the Flexi Edge flexible road ruler and Road Striping Pens in White and Yellow. When applied onto Top Coat Asphalt or Concrete, road striping mistakes are easily removed with the Road Stripe Remover.

- How do I put road stripes on a curved road? I have dry transfer stripes but I can't get them to curve.
  
  Cut the decal into individual stripes. Trace a very light line where road stripes are desired. When transferring the decal, it is important to burnish slowly and carefully. Use the wide tip of a burnisher. Start at one end of the road, place the decal on the start of the line and burnish the back of the decal bit-by-bit, following the line. Continue until stripes are completed.

- What does the 45 degrees mean on your decals?
  
  The 45 degrees refers to the design of the font. The angle degree at the corners of the lettering is 45°.
- No decals were included with the DPM building kit I purchased. I can't find them on your site, what do I use?

- I have Model Graphics dry transfer decals Stripes Yellow and White and I want to make stripes for my road. What size should I use and how many packages should I order?
  
  Research the era and the geographic area you are modeling for the correct standards.
  
  Modern lane lines are generally 4-inches wide. This includes road, highway, and parking lot lines in white (solid and dashed) and yellow (single, double, solid and dashed).
  N Scale: 4” = 0.025 / Decal: 1/32”
  
  HO Scale: 4” = 0.046 / Decal: 3/64”
  O Scale: Place two 3/64" decals side-by-side
  
  Our Model Graphics – Stripes are approximately 7-1/2 inches in length. The number of packages needed will depend on your chosen scale and length of road.

- Can I apply dry transfer decals to a surface and then seal with an acrylic gloss varnish or spray vinyl fixative?
  
  Sprays contain a propellant that is usually solvent-based. Solvents have been known to eat away at decals. We recommend using the brush-on acrylic gloss varnish. Apply to a small, test area first to check for compatibility.
