  1. There is a seller on ebay that sells photo copies of many of my decals. SUPER heap copies w/o the white under lay. I complained to ebay, he altered the photo he used in auctions and ebay said it was his work now. I stopped selling on ebay. SOP in todays word sad to say.
  2. Nice clean build!
  3. Very well done!!! Nice clean build. I owned a 77 Bird and would love a kit....are they still made??
  4. I have a Dead MD-5000 but gave up looking for someone to fix it. I've not looked for ribbons of late, still have one good printer, but when ALPS came out they were $4 for color and $6 for white and metallic. ALPS was a great invention but you could not get the general public to see the advantages vs a $$40 ink jet printer.
  5. I don't clear coat my laser decals and never had issues Yhx
  6. Printing decals is a topic that has been posted here many times. I'd look and see if you can find one. Short version: High end lasers work best between Laser and Ink Jet. Light color graphics on any dark color will fade. Whit needs to be printed under colors, only SOME lasers and ALPS can do this. That's a start.
  7. One this Sat put on by Atomiccity
  8. XM 33, or 9933 on dish. First Wave
  9. The software you use may also impact colors. If whatever you are using gives you options, like spot color, CMYK, RGB, see if changing color type halps. I have been involved in a few decal companies. DNL Hobbies was screen printed but that meant 500 copies or more. We started experimenting with laser decals it took a lot of work and failure. Most print shops did not want to run decal paper through, back then, their $4K printer. Then ALPS came on the market and changed everything. good luck
  10. Toward Christmas we get a batch....but who knows!!!
  11. Here is the last in the series of Revell Renault showrod kits. If you watch and like please give a thumbs up. Next will be AMT lil kits like Gasser. Thanks
  12. Many great roles.....I love SW but he was so much more......RIP
  13. I like the Monogram 34 Ford kit warts and all!!!!! I do wish they would back date it to the Green coupe version. In a dream world they'd retool it back to the 1960's era kit!!!!! I can dream!!!!
