Hi,

I know that Hobbies of Dereham do some flower transfers and I'm pretty sure that Hobbycraft do (or did) some as well. Depends on the scale you want however and whether you want waterslide or stick-on.

You can make your own with water-slide paper and either an inkjet or (better) a laser printer.
www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk  (their server is down at the moment  )
They have free designs which you can download and put into a Word page (or use free clipart), print on ordinary paper to check size, etc, then print onto the water-slide paper. Apply as per instructions (easy), leave for a day or two to dry out then spray with laquer.
They do stick - I use them for the graphics on my offshore racing boat!

As Omra85 said, the DIY water slide decal papers are good.

You could then find a photo of a design you like, resize it and print it.

The only thing I did find was that the clear decal paper is not good for light colours. If put on a dark background.
The white paper is better, but then you have by defallt a white background.

Hi Tony

The URL which follows is for a company which does vinyl lettering and decorations for full-size canal boats.   I've used them myself when repainting a previous canal boat.   However he was also very helpful when I wanted  lettering for my launch Fair Constance and made up exactly what I needed in the right size.    As you'll see, he has roses and castles etc.  It would certainly be worth asking him if he can reduce them to 1/12 scale for you or make up vinyls from your owm artwork.
