Airfix stickers- how do they work then?

Are you sure purepurple? grin
ABetaDad - I've already been drafted in for fiddly bits of string duty, don't think I could handle tweezers!

oh bum holes
dodgy laptop grin
Thinking back 35 years, as I recall you get a saucer of water and drop the paper in it with the transfers on and then lift it out and gently peel the stickers off once they start to lift off the paper (with tweeezer if they are really small).

There is water soluble glue on the back of each transfer like a stamp. Very fiddly so DP/DS may need a steady hand who is good with tweezers.

Were you planning doing anything else tonight? grin

it's been a while but I think you have to soak them in water for a minute or two and then put them on the model

DP and DS1 have finally finished building their airfix model and DS1 wants to put on the stickers but they are not sticky-backed ones and I can't figure them out. No instructions I can find on how they work, they look like they might be some sort of transfer but the text is not reversed. Can anyone shed any light on it?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
