Dave and Jack:
I do a similar thing that is a standard procedure for our product
prototypes.
We've been doing this sort of thing since 1963, but back then there were no
computers or printers, so much of it was done with photography.
Today, we use a graphics program (like Pagemaker or Indesign) and print with
a laser printer.
The graphics get laminated with peel-n-stick sheets on both sides.
The decals are applied with what's variously known as carpet tape or window
tape. It's thin and double-sided adhesive - holds real well, but can be
removed if you do it carefully.
As Jack mentioned, it's fun to create a layout that suits you. I have pics
there with a Racal and ITT Marine receiver that I did. Sometimes the purist
collectors holler at me, but I don't care.
Here's a link of one of the projects on my site.
Good luck with the project.
73,
Bob
