Hi David, yes I'd say about 5 hours on Photoshop so far. I scanned my own dial then spent ages cleaning up the image so it looks reasonable. Robert kindly did a scan of his dial which has the station names. Alas Robert's scan suffers from a slight motion blur in one direction which makes rescuing the station names a bit of a challenge. I enlarged in and spent some time getting the text as clear as possible and once reduced to actual size it's not too bad. I went with two thinner acrylic sheets so if one 'layer' works out OK I can keep that while I find a better solution for the other (white) one. I printed and applied the decals this morning so I won't touch them until tomorrow when they should be dry enough to take the varnish coat. At this stage it's very much an experiment. I will get some emboss powder for my next shot at the station names decal....
Cheers, John
