I think the gist was something like “…even in a world of so many decals you can make your own…”
Love that Syd Mead gundam
With the softener, more coats are better. That big decal on the backpack of the trooper was all wrinkled, but 2-3 more coats would eliminate that, and sort of dissolve the clear rim outside the edges. It also helps the decal lay into recesses and conform to complex curves.
Kinda poor quality video wish it was in HD
Love the Daria reference, Kayte!
do you use the setter first then the softener? or the softener first?. i do a lot of custom paint work on gundams
