Designing graphics for scale model water slide decals ... using PowerPoint!

If you want to design your own graphics for printing waterslide decals for your models - but don’t know where to start - then this guide is for you.
Microsoft PowerPoint might not seem the obvious choice of software, but if you’ve got Word on your home computer, as part of Microsoft Office, the chances are you’ve got it already - for FREE - and it actually does what we want pretty well.
I’ll be demonstrating how to set up your document for printing, how to import, duplicate and scale pre-existing graphic elements, how to set type and even how to create your own shapes to start generating your own designs.
