Jasonc Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah, I missed this, too. Asked and it was too late. Have the money, and looking at other things to spend it on out of frustration for missing it. Quote
big F Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Im sure enough people will come forward to fund a second run. Quote
captain america Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Im sure enough people will come forward to fund a second run. Technically, if I can get 6 more orders, I can justify re-tooling the other half of the molds. Quote
captain america Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Kits are ready and boxed, I start shipping next week. Here's what my kitchen table looked like for a short time. Quote
Jasonc Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 If you can get more orders for them, please let me know. Quote
tdo7623 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Surely, I am late on this forum, but I would like to get in on this. Will PM you, Capt. Quote
big F Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 By my counting that's four required for the Capt to do the re-run. Quote
captain america Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Pilot figure not included, I'm afraid. So far I have the following interested parties for a secondary run: -shdwfx2000 -Jason C -tdo7623 Quote
captain america Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Hi guys. Destructions are underway as kits are beginning to ship. I've also done the artwork for the decals, but since it's an Adobe Illustrator (ai) file I can't seem to upload it. Can someone host the file for download, maybe? I've attached a screen cap as a preview for the art. Quote
captain america Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks Exo. There we go! Ger decals artwork.ai.zip Quote

I've attached a screen cap as a preview for the art. So this is what the decals will look like? Are they shipping with the kit, or later on? Quote
captain america Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 So this is what the decals will look like? Are they shipping with the kit, or later on? I uploaded the vector artwork master file so that people can download and print (or have printed) as needed. You can even change the colors and such for alternate versions. Just be sure to delete the light blue rectangle behind the logos; I just put that there for aesthetics. Quote

Jefuemon Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Can anyone print these for me? I don't have illustrator. Make that can anyone print up a double run? Quote
neko_fr Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Are we suposed to use a special type of paper? Sorry, it may be a silly question, but I'm not used to that.:-) So, I don't have any special paper, nor I haveIllustrator... How can I do, please? Thanks by advance Quote
big F Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 You will need decal paper. It's available for inkjet and laser printers. There is a free to use version of illustrator, its the CS2 version, used it for ages and its fine. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5724-adobe-illustrator-cs2-free.html Quote
captain america Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 I would have been happy to print and put a decal sheet in the box, but ever since ALPS discontinued their printers that had the ability to print white several years ago, finding a good & reliable print service for small runs has been a fruitless endeavor. At least this way people have the ability to make several copies as needed, without worry that the decal paper will yellow or crumble if they don't use it right away. Quote
big F Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 finding a good & reliable print service for small runs has been a fruitless endeavor. I agree trying to get one of the six companies we work with who can all do this sort of thing is a non starter. I've been trying to get redlions ARMD 1/2 paper craft printed onto 2mm plastic stock for ages now, a small run of say 15 so that works out as 45 A3 prints. Where I used to work this would have been a ten minutes job. There are places in China who will do small runs of decals but they mean 100 sets. Quote
Jasonc Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 You need decal paper with white backing if you're going to do the white decals, in which case, you'd need to put a black line around them so you know where they're at. Other than that, it's not difficult to do. I'd do them for a few of you if I was able to get enough time on the laser jet printer at work, but eventually, I'll be hooking up my 9 color printer for some good decal stuff. I'm trying to bring a few more people to this. How many more do we need? Quote

Spitfire_BR Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I'd be down for a set. put me in the wishlist, please ! 2 sets! Quote

The guy at Canuck Models was no help then? He does very nice work..... Quote
neko_fr Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I'll try to do my own set, but almost sure I will fail Quote
mslz22 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I am guessing that i can get Jeff at JT Graphics to print the decals if anyone wants me to ask. Quote
mslz22 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If you guys want i can arrange for JTgraphics to do the whole run, i will pay him upfront and then you guys can get the decals from me (at cost). The added benefit is that anyone who i will be sending out Monster decals to I can piggyback the 2 together. If that is interesting to people let me know. mike Quote
