Hi. I am new to the is site, so I hope I am going about this the right way. I am looking for a Jawa decal - like the one used in the Star Wars Lego sets. I have done the search on this site, and I did find one that was close, but the torso wasn't quite the same. I have found a picture of one on bricklink:

Thanks!

Hi Luke, I hope this'll help you.

Concerning the decal; 1) If I remember correctly (yes, it's off of my template but I'm working from memory now), resize it at 31% of the original. 2) To be safe, print out a test Jawa (to make sure the resizing is correct, to make sure that the pockets print out large enough, siince I have not printed it out for myself yet...) 3) If there's any problems with it (like the pockets...) let me know.

And just for giggles, how about a Jawa who can't tolerate riding in a Sandcrawler?

Yeah, the pockets are not quite large enough. Are you able to adjust that?

What programs do you guys use to make these decals?

Hey Luke, I'm not sure if you wanted something just like the real thing or not, I just thought I'd run these by you to see if it's anything you would be interested in:

-Torso
-Face

If you like them, feel free to use them.

"What programs do you guys use to make these decals?"

I use a free program I found a while back called Paint.NET, can't recall the address to the site where I downloaded it, but it should come up if you search the web for 'Paint.NET'.

Okay Luke, try this one then:

 I increased the pockets, bandolier and their colors by about 110% and then shifted them around a bit. I noticed that the bandolier now extends a bit off the bottom corners of the torsos- I didn't like that (since I like putting belts around the bottom edge of the torso- not the hips) but it does seem to look abit more like the Lego design now (in that respect, in my opinion anyway). As for the back torso decal (yeah, it's a bad habit of mine- feel free to disregard it, it would be covered by a cape anyway if you choose to use it), I hope I lined it up [to the front] correctly. As before, let me know about any changes you may think of.

As for the program I use? Adobe Photoshop version 5. I kept all the pockets on different layers (actually seperate layers for just about every piece of the decal) which allows me to manipulate different pieces seperatly. Mind you, there are other programs that use layers as well (Draw Plus [another free program] , Corel Draw [if I remember correctly], probably Paint.net also [Lamanda2 can confirm that, I was never able to get that program working on my PC]...

Ananda - thanks for the torso - looks good. I just downloaded paint.net to see what I can come up with.

Alan - I think the increased bandolier size looks better. The only difference is the bandolier/torso colours are reversed.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help!
