I am looking for a source to obtain custom decals. I want to get the name of my scratch built ferry decals.
 
At least for the name of the ferry, why not design your own with whatever font, size, straight across or curved shape on most any stock drawing program and then print it on clear waterslide decal paper or clear sticker paper. Alternatively you can heavy print paper then cut out the letters with scalpel blade and use it as a stencil to paint the name. You can print the name etc. on a sheet of label paper then attach as a whole name or cut out the letters and attach. Yu can just paint the name on if you have steady hands, patience, high qual materials. Cutting out the letters is a pain in the neck so not my first choice based on my experience with all of these methods.

Hope you find this interesting.
