How t' Make Scale DecalsThis technique shows a simple way t' make correctly sized decals for downscaled/upscaled rockets. T' first step is t' obtain a scan o' t' original rocket's decals. Ya scallywag! Once they are obtained, open it in a picture editor. A common editor like Paint will work fine. Blimey! In this case, t' decal will be resized t' fit a BT-5 downscale o' t' Estes M-104 Patriot. Aye aye! Now t' scale factor must be obtained. Begad! A simple way t' find out what it is: take t' diameter o' t' downscaled/upscaled rocket and divide it by t' diameter o' t' original rocket. Blimey! Convert it into a percent. In Paint, go t' Image and then Resize/Skew. In t' resizin' section, shiver me timbers, enter t' percent obtained earlier (make sure t' percent is rounded t' t' nearest integer – Paint will nay accept decimals) in both Horizontal and Vertical. Now, shiver me timbers, click OK. T' resizin' is now successful and now can be printed and applied t' rocket. Blimey! Contributed by Josh Joung
