Because of the compound curves of the tank some areas had to be mortised into the tank. The lighter areas are blank and will be filled in with the decal pieces pictured.The red lines are to

illustrate where all the butt joints are located with all the decals in place.

Now to apply these decals cut a hole in the waterslide where it fits over the gas filler hole in the tank. Work one slide sheet at a time. Place the decal in warm water for a couple minutes until it slides easily on the backing paper. The tank and decal should be warm to help the decal stretch over the compound curves of the tank. Wet the tank and slide the decal onto the tank. Using a sponge squeegee the decal into position. This takes patients and finesse; if you are too rough or stretch it too much it will tear. Let the first decal dry before attempting to place the second decal.

With all our decals in place we’ll now add some color over the entire tank. Mix up a light green money color and lightly spray it over all the decals; this will knock back the blacks in the decals. Next we’ll use an iridescent green mixed with just

Now I’ll make a shield out of acetate to help add drop shadows to the bills. To attach the shield to the tank I use a hole punch to make holes along the edge. Lay masking tape over he holes, press the shield into place and the masking tape sticking thru the holes will stick the shield to the tank.
