So I was talking to this guy about decals today.

Post by biff85ta »

One of the racers and organizers of the UF1 midwest also makes decals. I was having a discussion with him about what he could and could not make. The good new is that he is willing to make just about any decal. He does excellent quality work. It would probably help if we could organize a group buy to make it worth the setup time for him or if some of you have done vector files already it would speed the process. Anyway here is a link to his site.

Almost all my posts will be edited because I know what I want to write, but my fingers always hit the wrong keys.

He said he was open to ideas outside of the F1 stuff. I know JPEG files require a ton of time to get rendered but if you have an idea you should touch base with him. The worst he could say is no. It would probably help if you could get a group together that are interested before you speak to him.

And that's the fastest way to get a cease and desist letter. There's a good reason all the good repro decal businesses don't make Tamiya decals any more and it's Tamiyas lawyers. They even forced Tamiyaclub.com to remove all the old manuals from the site, they only went back online on condition they no longer sell repro decals and and ensure they do not promote repro decals and parts at all, either in the showrooms or the forum. Brad doesn't do Williams F1 stickers thanks to contact from their lawyers so he won't be going anywhere near Tamiya repros.

Exactly...just because you have a color scanner/printer doesn't mean you can print off whatever you like and sell it for profit.
