    The decal biz is tough. I been involved in two different aftermarket decal companies. My current biz has hundreds of different decals......many of which have been copied and currently for sale on ebay by a ......less than honest seller. Multiply 200 decals but the many hours each took to create then have someone steal them. VRM may not have a problem with theft but even if not it's a huge investment in time and money not knowing if you will ever sell enough to recover your cost. 

    For about $4000 we can get some printed at Chartahraf with in six months. But who wants to put up the cash???

    I have paid up to $20.00 for a custom set that I wanted made but to me worth it. Of course when I do that I will get 3-4 done.  For the cost and time a lot of these guys take I appreciate them so to me its worth it. On some colors you need to double up so buying an extra set also helps them out in my books. I have used from various makers and never had a problem. As for decals from printers, unless they do it themselves you can see the difference in crispness, and blocking i guess you would call it. And Dave I think we all know about a certain person who keeps changing his name.

    Still in the throes of unpacking everything.  May get model room "operating" by Christmas.  Almost all unbuilt kits on the shelves.  Sorting out the aftermarket stuff (real pain) and dealing with a damaged display case (mover needs to send repairman).  Now a member of Scale Auto Builders Assn.  May be back for a visit in May.  Looks like we may have a buyer for the Palatine house.

    Sorry to hear about the breakage and the loss of seeing you at the meetings. Glad you may have a buyer for the house. I still havent unpacked since the move to this slumlord place. No room anyway to unpack, and sold most of the stuff of over the last few years. Hope everything goes smoothly the rest of the way for you.

Thanks, Bill

    Sorry getting back so late to you. Great site and see quite a few things to get. You were right about load time. Area I live in we always have problems with internet.
