If i match the decals from say the mercedes F1 car and kind of fit them to size within the sticker sheet that may work? but i dont know how good the quality is... ill give it a try... any program you'd recommend? all I have is microsoft paint

1 hour ago, Bartybum said:Your best bet would be to replace as many of the gapped panels with ones that aren’t, that way any stickers you make will be large enough to have details. As to making stickers, I’m sure there’s something you could find from a quick Google search.
I have searched everywhere, even putting in quotes between words to search for that exact phrase (lego "mclaren mercedes") nothing comes up, the DIY stickers that come up involve dipping them in some bill nye solution, I wasn't sure if there was a website or program that would allow you to pull up the stickers for specific models and allow you to edit them.... however, if they are the same size as the ferrari 1:8 model, it should be possible to measure the dimensions of the stickers I have now, and be able to replicate that back up on some program, and be able to print custom decals?

Wasn't sure what was available as an aftermarket / moc fit, getting back into building stuff like these after more or less 12 years. (25 now)

- As for the Formula 1 Silver Champion (8458) car, how would I go about creating custom stickers that would replicate the 1999 McLaren Mercedes MP4/14 or the 2010 Mercedes MGP W01 since it seems rather close...

I took a look, its great and all but a ridiculously long process.... You can't use glossy sticker paper, on a printer at home?

I just picked up the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (10177-1) and the Silver Champion (8458) and was wondering how I can go about adding my own livery to each of them? or if at all possible? Such as getting custom stickers created? is there a website or program that would be helpful in creating custom stickers for these sets?

Where can I find Aircraft, Airliners? Sets MOCs

Hello all, I’m new and it’s been a while since I last purchased a LEGO set.
I love airliners such as commercial ones, jets, any modern airplane really...
I purchased the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (10177) however, this seems to be the only set that’s actually decently sized, and not a MOC. I’ve tried googling and all forums to see if I could find others but to no avail and MOCs of aircraft I do find, either have no instructions or very small/basic construction... so if anyone can show me the right place to find decent well made models instructions or even alternative builds ? It would be amazing,
