I have 2 kits, however I do have CDS dry transfers. But, I would prefer sliders, so depending on price....I would be good for 2 or 3.

To change the subject, I was hoping for a GRa, got one more in ya, Bob?

"Camera ready" meaning in digital form so that they do not have to manipulate it in any way.  They actually prefer PDFs, so you would (in your case) print the CorelDraw file to a PDF generator, with each color on its own layer (including the clear overcoat).

I know what you meant by "camera ready" but still, in the digital age that sounds so old-fashioned. But that phrase will most likely stick around for years to come.

According to http://microscale.com/custom.htm "We can accept your vector art files in Illustrator or Corel Draw.  If it is a bitmapped file we can accept Photoshop files, eps or tiff." No mention of PDF is made. But since it appears that you actually deal with them, what you said about PDFs must supersede their website info.  From my experience, PDF is pretty much variation of the AI format.

As I mentioned, if Bob would provide the decal artwork I could print and provide a small number of decal sets to TRW members, just as I did with the ICHABOD graffiti decal set.

I know what the website says.  But submitting a properly-layered PDF file will get you the lowest quote.  And yes, it's basically a more sophisticated version of an AI file, but it can be viewed and output via a number of programs.

I just pulled the trigger on two cars, so count me in for two sets.  Thank you.

Originally, I was amassing artwork for all of the cars to be placed onto one sheet to make it cost feasible. After my situation came up, it was really a mute point. I had sent the DECAL artwork over to DKS as we were talking about NZT maybe making a short run, but I will be happy to give to anyone.

Hi Bob,

Would not mind a couple of them.

Decals are not a problem.

I had sent the artwork over to DKS

Ohhh David, please, pretty please.  :D  I'd pony up for 3 GRa's. And thanks Bob, for offering to make the art work available. 8)

Sorry, I was not clear, I sent the decal artwork to David.

The GRa will be my first limited-run release and was the #201 artwork I was alluding to for SPF's.

Ok, so DKS has the G22 artwork. I'm sure he's got a plan...
It also sounds like Bob is going to do a limited run GRa. That also sounds fantastic! Would be great to see MOW decals for those, too!

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Just to be clear, Bob sent me the artwork so I could see it. We have not gotten to the point of discussing a run yet. We've been working on some other more pressing things at the moment.
