What's up with those decals? Did you make them yourself, or are they from a kit?

Hey, thanks again to everyone who has just come by to take a look and left a kind word or two. I really appreciate it..so much so that I've been walking around here like I'm Superman.
To answer flaccid's question about the decals...I set my own in photoshop or illustrator, I work as a graphic artist so I usually just size out some circles and such and then set up my set according to those dimensions.
I have to sit down and figure out what I'm going to do with the N-1 fighter (and thanks for those who reminded me what it was), but I may just stick to some black markings similar to original. Or hell, I may just deviate and go nuts and mark it all up with stripes and access panels.
For those interested, you can go to decalpaper.com to order some sheets. You can get them in packs of 10 or 20 sheets and usually run about a 1.00 a sheet. Testor's also has a decal spray for the paper. But as a caution..spray those sheets in a well ventilated area or you'll be found an hour later just wandering through the neighborhood in a daze. You can print the sheets with any ink jet printer so nothing really special is required to make them.
I'm also starting to ntice a few of you that I have been watching on YouTube for awhile. It's good to meet all you finally and can't wait to see what some of you have up your sleeves now.
I love that I'm not the only one who gets crazy about the "backstory" to every paint job and blaster marks.
The B-Wing looks fun, maybe that you're working on an A-wing with similar colors is messing with your head? They both look great to my eyes. But who am I to offer advise to you guys?!?
oooo, oo, ooooo, ooo! To cool! How'd you get it on the ship?
Mate sensational work as always your skills are always a joy to look at.

Oh yeah, this update is now on our front page.
SS, everything I've seen on the last couple of pages looks absolutely superb! I love the Naughty Princess nose art, it's perfect for the side of the B-Wing cockpit pod. Dirty Bird is just a classic custom piece!
This post certainly is a highlight of the forum right now!
Holy......well I can't type that here...but this is an amazing update. So now you are cutting styrene tube to go around the jewels? Damn that is slick! Love everything and thanks for the inspiration!
I have to say that I've bounced around a few modeling forums already and have been laughed off most for not following the norm on the paint finishes I decided to use.
To make another point, other forums really got the better of me and I was starting to hang up the hobby again.
The b-wing has turned out stunning, your rendered images really do it justice. The weathering is perfect and I love the markings and decals... I have to agree with Fiala, this is one of the best custom B-Wings I've ever seen!
