NEW DECAL ARTWORK!! 8/28/7 PYTHON ROOF & DETAILS!

SOME NOTES: (1) The errors shown in some of the thumbnails below, noted, are by-products of generating the thumbnail from the layered monochrome printer artwork. I could make the thumbnails perfect, but only with additional substantial effort. This is a small price to pay for making the decals, ahem, perfect. (2) Where the artwork should be white irrespective of car color, the decal is white. Where the artwork should be clear to let the car color show through, the decal is clear. Background colors shown below are for illustration only. (3) The "real" artwork is rendered at 1200 dpi and printed at an even divisor, 600 dpi. This means that there is no aliasing visible to the naked eye - or generally even under 10x -- and that the printer doesn't cause unnecessary aliasing. My thumbnails are really quite horribly reduced. Why? Because my early thumbnails were stolen by at least one for-profit restorer and used to generate bootleg decals. (4) No, these aren't all of my decals that are available. All the thumbs can be viewed here: <a href="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/">eric-peterson.org/images/...alArtwork/</a> Where some of these designs have already been produced by The Redline Shop as waterslides, or where they are already produced on vinyl, my versions are displayed for reference only and are not available. (5) Once cleared testing, my decals are available exclusively through The Redline Shop. (6) If you see something you need in my thumbs and Jon does NOT appear to have it listed in his store online, either mine or someone else's version, drop him a line. He probably has it, but just doesn't have it listed for some reason. He's told me before that the store code "loses" things. Just ask. (7) Thumbs are not to scale. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/PythonUSSetRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> US Python, top black, optional roof edge and B-pillar black, grill, and taillight. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/PythonHKSetRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> HK Python, top black and grill. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/RodgerDodgerGoldSuperChromeRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Gold superchrome Rodger Dodger. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/DeoraUSBlackSetRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> US Deora casting, tonneau and grill. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/DeoraHKBlackSetRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> HK Deora casting, tonneau and grill. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Formula5000_Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> Formula 5000 artwork, for both white and superchrome versions, has been remastered for improved color saturation and density. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/OldsPoliceChief_II_ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> Metal base/open hood/mixed wheel/no doorlines Olds 442 Police Chief from '74, or plastic base/fixed hood/open center wheels/no doorlines Olds 442 Police Chief from '75 and on. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/TwinmillFlyingColorsRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors Twin Mill in orange enamel, decals in red, white, and blue. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/AmericanVictoryRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors American Victory McLaren ... translucent blue over opaque white for medium blue car, plastic base. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Ford%20J%20HK%20Top%20Black%20Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> HK Ford J-car engine cover blackout. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Ford%20J%20HK%20Std%20Bottom%20Black%20Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> HK Ford J-car chassis tail end blackout. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Ford%20J%20HK%20HH%20Bottom%20Large%20Black%20Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> HK Ford J-car, hidden hinge, tail end blackout, common large vent. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Ford%20J%20HK%20HH%20Bottom%20Small%20Black%20Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> HK Ford J-car, hidden hinge, tail end blackout, uncommon small vent. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/CoolOneRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors COOL ONE dragster in plum. Note that only the lightning bolts and nose wing lettering are underprinted with white base coat.

These are a real pain to apply. Experts only. They MUST be trimmed very closely, and they MUST be coated with decal film, and they SHOULD be applied with decal softener, or else you can get some wrinkles at the tops of the fenders. Well, OK... you could probably apply the blue and the orange stripes in front separately and avoid the decal softener, but that will be one long, slender, fragile decal. I had the best luck applying my plain, black proofs in the final profile with the front stripes in three pieces, the two cuts corresponding pretty closely to the break between the slope of the nose and the fender arches. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/ClassicFordCoupeTopBlackRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Black top decal for the Classic Ford Coupe. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/DemonTopBlackRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Black top decal for the Demon. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/WoodyTopBlackRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Classic Woody. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/VickyTopBlackRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Classic Vicky. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/GMCMotorhomeRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> GMC Motorhome decals have been remastered for improved print process.

Much easier than masking it off. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/CarabouNoseRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> The orange headlight band for the spectraflame Carabou. Again, mostly for my own use, but if you need it contact Jon and ask him to stock it. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/WarpathWhiteRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> White Warpath, artwork in red and blue, usually a metal bottom car. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/WarpathRedRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Red Warpath, artwork in white and blue, usually a plastic bottom car. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/DuneDaddyGreenRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors Dune Daddy from '75, common lime green, nose art with ORANGE and BLUE flowers over yellow. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/DuneDaddyOrangeRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors Dune Daddy from '75, rare orange, nose art with RED and BLUE flowers over yellow. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/DuneDaddyBlueRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Wisconsin Toy Dune Daddy release from the '80s, nose art with ORANGE and LIME GREEN flowers over yellow. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/AmericanTipperRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> American Tipper dump truck on the original stretched base MM tractor casting, single rear axle. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/AmericanHaulerRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> American Hauler moving van on the original stretched base MM tractor casting, single rear axle. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Porsche911FCSCSwirlRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors Superchrome Porsche 911, also used on enamel black basic wheel Porsche a year later. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/HotWheelsFlamesRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> UPDATE 1/11/7: Jon tells me RLS can already offer HW logo flames. If you need them, ask him! Hot Wheels Flame Logo, fairly good reproduction of version from '60s -- not today's version. Available in CLEAR or WHITE lettering in .25", .30", and .35" sizes. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/IceTFCGreenNoseRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors Ice T in lime green, olive and orange colors. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Ferrari312PCVRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Il Cavallino Rampante on the Scuderia Ferrari shield for the HK Ferrari 312P. This is not on Jon's US vinyl set and he does not offer this artwork, which came on HK Ferrari 312Ps from the factory. This particular prancing horse does not appear to be a standard Ferrari logo. The aspect ratio of the horse itself is wrong and the shape of the shield is incorrect. It might have been a limited use period piece, but I have a bunch of 1/43 Ferrari from the '60s and none of the SF shields were precisely like it. Printed new process black and yellow on clear. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/RLC_RodgerDodgerRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> By request, the "enhanced" high detail Rodger Dodger flames similar to those used on the RLC real rider re-issue, for customs. These decals have very complex color characteristics and I'm still tweaking color sat values. Because of the gradients, they must use the old process. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/MonteCarloStockerRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Original Monte Carlo Stocker. Second set developed for enhanced full color saturation printing first. Thumbnail shown has small error which does not affect actual decals: background color should be visible through HW flame and Hooker heart -- shown here as white. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/TorinoStockerRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Original Torino Stocker. Only the right side is shown. This is the first time I developed the artwork for the printer first, so the artwork for this thumbnail came second. There is a small error in the thumbnail -- the Goodyear lettering is white, but should be yellow -- but it is correct on the decals. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/BuzzOffFCPinstripesRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Regular Flying Colors Buzz Off, blue or ultra rare green enamel, black plastic or metal base. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/SupervanKingRadioRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> King Radio promotional Supervan. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/OddRodFlamesRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flames for the Odd Rod! <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/BuzzOffPrototypeRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors "Bug" BuzzOff prototype artwork, seen over blue. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/VWLadyBugMetalBaseRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors orange Volkswagon "Bug" artwork, sized for metal base VW casting. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/VWLadyBugPlasticBaseRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Flying Colors orange Volkswagon "Bug" artwork, sized for plastic base/Wisconsin Toy VW casting (Artwork is about 93% of width of artwork used on metal base version.) <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/HerfysScriptRed-PorscheWarpath-Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> Herfy's script for the Porsche and Warpath. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/HerfysScriptYelOrg-OldsFireCruiser-Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> Herfy's script for the Olds Fire Cruiser. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/HerfysScriptYellow-VWGremlin-Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> Herfy's script for the Gremlin and VW. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/SupervanPlumYamahaRef.jpg" style="border:0;"> Yamaha motocross for the blue prepro Supervan. <img src="http://eric-peterson.org/images/MyCustomDiecast/DecalArtwork/Rash-1Ref.jpg" style="border:0;"> The Flying Colors Rash-1, blue or green.

Re: TODAY'S NEW DECAL ARTWORK! VW! BUZZOFF PROTO! UPDATED 7/

Disassembly hint: Never use a drill! When you use a drill bit, you either have to get it centered precisely on the post spin and it needs to be almost exactly the size of the post in the hole, or it doesn't come apart or you botch up the base. Instead, use a 1/8" carbide ball cutter in a dremel at full speed. One $5 bit will do 40 or 50 cars before it dulls. You just gently eat the post spin head center down with the cutter from the center out. A good bit will cut the zamac like butter. At a point ten or fifteen seconds into the post, the rim of the spin will just pop off, leaving the base completely untouched. Practice on some commons or unrecoverable parts cars and you'll see how easy it is. This has the added advantage that it leaves the end of the cut post flattish and slightly dished, ready to take a drill and tap. For later plastic base FC cars, this is really the only way to get that spread post off the plastic without damaging the base. Pristine plastic bases are hard to find on some of the cars, and it sure does hurt to feel the drill slip off the post end and chew into the base! While the post spread always deformed the plastic base somewhat, using the high speed cutter allows you to remove the rim of the spread post without risking digging into the plastic and making it worse. - E

Mike, I got your message and I sent you a PM via the messaging system. RASH-1 is on my list but I need good photos of the top of the car -- and of the sides, since they wrap. If you got 'em email 'em to me and I'll put them in line next. The photos in the URG aren't quite enough. - E

Always, always, always. The advantages are (1) it's always possible to tell it's a resto (2) it can come back apart at any time to fix problems. I use #1 or #2 stainless aerospace grade button head caps from www.fastener-express.com and get my taps and tap drills from Micromark. - E

Re: TODAY'S NEW DECAL ARTWORK! VW! BUZZOFF PROTO! UPDATED 7/

Gee whiz, that Rash-1 artwork was a pain! First, it's nowhere near flat, so it's impossible to start with a photograph and lay artwork over the photograph. Second, despite the fact that I've got nearly 30,000 fonts installed, there was no perfect match for either numerals "31" or for the "LUCAS". So both sets of text were tweaked. Then there was that "GoodYear" logo.... So how are these done? This is for the folks who have asked. Well, first I got a hold of a Rash-1 that had enough paint left on it that I could cut a flexible template to match the outlines of the artwork. Once I got that done, I laid the template out flat and scanned it at 2400 dpi. I imported that into Corel Draw and drew the outline over the bitmap. I exported the vector art through an .ai file into 3DS MAX, where I also imported a photograph of the car from dead above over the nose. I took the key dimensions of the pattern with a set of calipers and sized the vector artwork. I scaled a billboard textured with the image of the car's nose to match the vector outline. At this point I drew in vector artwork for the outline of the white portion as well. I cleaned up the white stripe and outer outline. I started font matching software and got a close match, having instructed the matcher to ignore bottom serifs, which are easy to build. I drew in vector art for the "31" and tweaked it vertex by vertex until it was a better match for the actual numbers, which includes adding the bottom serif on the "1". This was then attached to the outline of the white area and surfaced, which turned the "31" into a hole in the middle of the white stripe. I ran the font matcher again on a blow-up of the "Lucas" text from an ebay auction, and got a pretty good match. The text still needed elements thickened, so I did that, again, vertex by vertex. Duplicated the text and spun it over to the opposite side. Layered it above the unfinished yellow shapes. Which left the "Goodyear" logo. I'd found some before for other HW art, but not a good black/white one with a single outside border like this needed. I googled this image: <a href="http://www.logodesignworks.com/logo-designs/logo-design-g/main/GoodyearB.gif">www.logodesignworks.com/l...dyearB.gif</a> Knowing this would be very small, and not worried too much about antialiasing, I de-rezed the color of the Goodyear logo to binary and imported it into PC Paint. Yes, I still use Paint. It's a good, basic program. I filled everything outside the outer rim to a solid color, and then filled the outer rim to match the gap between the rim and the background. Then I filled the solid color to match the logo background, and inverted everything. I made sure this texture was square. I applied a U-V mapping icon to the surfaced yellow pattern on one side and applied an untiled material using the black/white 2-color GoodYear logo as an opacity mask. I tweaked the mapping icon's scale and location until the logo was in the right spot. Which promptly gave me a single square of yellow with a logo cut out of it, making the remainder of the yellow surface invisible. That's what I get for using black/white instead of true alpha. Do I have a simple way of moving the binary color into an alpha channel or of extending binary color opacity beyond the mapping icon? Doesn't look like it. Let's tile the material... which gives me a string of five or six GoodYear logos on each side.... Hmmm. Dirty fast solution -- copy the yellow surface downward in z, make it a matching solid yellow, and punch a hole in it under the correct logo location. The other logo punchouts are still there, but there's yellow behind them, so they're invisible. Done. Mirror the yellow assembly to the other side. Build a new material with the logo mask tiled -1 in U to undo the mirror transform. Apply colors as shown, background dark green, and superimposed watermark for the image shown. For printing.... Ah, that's a little different. Turn the diffuse yellow in the opacity mapped yellow materials to black. Change all other solid colors to black. Make the background white. Lay out a convenient tight pattern to fill an 8.5 x 11 decal sheet. Integrate and place registration markers. Render everything, which gives me everything in non-green as black over white. This is my base coat layer, printed as extra heat white onto the clear film. Hide what would be yellow and red artwork, leaving only the (black) white stripe. Render. This is my white final coat layer. Hide everything. Unhide the registration marks and the (black) yellow artwork. Render. This gives me a layer to be printed in spot yellow. Hide the yellow artwork. Unhide the "Lucas" text. Render. This gives me a layer to be printed in spot magenta over the yellow, which produces bright red in that order. Stack and register the bitmaps (which were rendered at 2400 dpi) back in Corel Draw as four separate aligned layers. Print sequence on the Alps is white undercoat, spot yellow, spot white, spot magenta, finish re-melt. No dithering, which makes a huge, huge difference for folks who have one of these printers but who might never have tried spot printing. Both the yellow and white go over the white base, and the magenta goes over the yellow. The finish buffs everything down smooth. - E

Re: TODAY'S NEW DECAL ARTWORK! VW! BUZZOFF PROTO! UPDATED 7/

Thanks for the tip on the cutter, Eric. I've had the bit come loose and chew a few plastic bases. Luckily, I keep all my resto's. I'll be posting pics soon. I can't wait for the decals you promised me. I've been using J.B. Weld to put them back together. 3 drops of it, then a rubber band on the front and back for 24 hours. I haven't used screws because the drill bits have been beating up the posts pretty bad. <patience, Grasshopper>. I'll figure it out. I'm having a ball doing these Super Vans. ~Craig

Re: TODAY'S NEW DECAL ARTWORK! VW! BUZZOFF PROTO! UPDATED 7/

Hey Eric, I posted some Super Van pics on this board and Redliners Unite! Just about all the decals came from you or the Redline Shop. Not sure if you made the T-Totaller decals John sells there, but I got 2 bad sets. You couldn't tell until they went into the water, then you could see the white lettering was only partly there. I wanted to use the Express Trucking dcals on a Super Van, but to no avail. If you get a chance, make some of those with your new printer. A-OK decals would make a good Super Van too. I used some GMC Motorhome "Palm Beach" decals on Super Vans and they turned out great. Check my post for some other customs using decals with creativity. ~Craig

Re: TODAY'S NEW DECAL ARTWORK! VW! BUZZOFF PROTO! UPDATED 7/

Craig, The Tee Totaller sets have been reprinted with the new printer process. The redline version -- the orange scrollwork -- was a new experiment. I had no way to make orange directly without using a very costly process orange ribbon, of which I have exactly one, but I found I could trick the printer into printing 50% magenta under a layer of 100% yellow, and I got a pretty good orange -- much better than it was before anyway. And of course the yellow, blue, and white are much better now. - E

Eric, Look on my post on this board for my Super Van customs. Your KING RADIO decals look good on my metallic gold van. I show it next to an original in the pic. The original tampo was orange, but the red looks good. I show one done with the YAMAHA motocross decals too. ~Craig P.S., still watching my mail box for those T-Tottaller decals. ~Craig

Craig -- Saw your posts, all of 'em. The photo refs I have show the KGW van to have orange stripes, but the King Radio Herfy's van sure does look like it has red stripes to me. Anyone want to pipe in here? You should have your replacement new process Tee Totaller sets by now. I think you'll be pleased with them. Jon will have stock of the new ones, too. Anyone who might have purchased old ones... I think the first shipment to Jon may actually have a missed white layer. Let me know if you got a bad set, please. 12/31 added three variants of the Dune Daddy nose art. - E

Added COOL ONE dragster artwork 3/25, white clouds and yellow lightning, white text with monochrome yellow MOONEYES logo as "oo" on nose. After the Winnipeg artwork, I had to tackle something simple! But it turned out not to be entirely straightforward, because if you look at the car you can see the outlines of the cloud UNDER the ends of the lightning bolts. So these are printed as two layers of white for opacity and then two layers of yellow, overlapping where they may. This means that the normally translucent yellow -- which generally requires an opaque white base -- shows the base color through a little, and allows the edges of the cloud to show. This is a good match for the way the tampo was done, white under yellow. - E
