Depending on what you're looking for and when. Time is somewhat limited due to a fulltime job.

That's why I won't SELL certain decals.

Microscale liquid decal film works great on the old decals

Excellent Ben!!!!!

Back to ya.

Alan, As stated in my emails, I am almost finished with them. And as I've said before, I'm in the process of upgrading my printing system. I planned on having them done by the end of last year and then again by the end of January, but was pushed back for about 2 more weeks or possibly sooner.

Sometimes I do need a full time crew!!!! It's still business as usual and I'm still printing as I type.

Alan, I'm not down--just upgrading to a better and more reliable system. I have a full time job and haven't had a lot of extra time lately.

Here's the latest and greatest................. New print system is due to ship out this week.....first payment is due upon receipt and set up.....also have to have insurance due to cost (required by the bank), that initial payment is due as well.......... I am working with someone on the HO stuff to make sure it's scaled correctly. Also working on 1/64 scale, will be adding more in the 1/32 and 1/16 scales Print time will be cut by about 99%, ink (not actually ink) costs will be cut by about 75% (will have a better idea once I've run thru a full set). I may keep the ALPS for certain projects. Even though the cost of the new system is pretty expensive for decals, I should not have to raise the price of the decals. I do hope to be up and running within the next 2 weeks, providing the severe weather in the US doesn't hinder delivery. To sum it all up, I won't have any more downtime like I did recently, turnaround will be a lot better, and I will have more time to work on even more stuff!!! (as if I don't have enough) I wish to thank everyone for their support since I took over almost 4 years ago and look forward to do my best to contribute to this hobby. I also want to thank my "unofficial staff" of spokesmen and the R & D department (the guys taking pics for me). I would name them, but I'm afraid I would leave someone out.

Finally got the printers back today after sitting in Japan since Oct. 22. Just now able to get started on the backlog of orders and hopefully I will have the samples back on the new printing system and have that up and running very shortly. To everyone that has an outstanding order with me, I am working as fast as the printer can to get your orders out to you. My apologies once again for the long delay with these orders. ---Jerry

I might have to look into offering them on another detail sheet.

I have used some of Ben & Jamie's parts and they are absolutely worth the money. Quality and craftsmanship second to none!!!!! Thanks for giving us the link .

I will have to dig thru my files to see if I still have the Burlington files. On a side note, my printers are "supposed" to be on the way back from Japan (after sitting at the repair facility since Oct. 22, so outstanding orders will be printed as soon as possible. I am still in the process of upgrading away from the ALPS to a more reliable system. This time of year lenders can be a bit difficult to deal with.

Rich, Hold off until I get back up again. I will make a post when all is good again.

And as far as the costs, I do my best to keep the cost affordable, yet being able to continue printing.

Robert, I stand by my product. If someone tells me there is an issue with the decals, I do everything I can to make it right. Sometimes decals get sent out that I missed a flaw on, but I will send replacements. As far as the people that won't order from me I say this--If I don't know about the problem, I can't fix it. In no way am I directing this comment to you Robert. after posting this and thinking about it, I didn't want it to seem as though I was angry with you.

Jake, I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have. Sometimes i do forget to replay due to the fact of a full time job and getting caught up on designing and printing. I did go back through my emails and to answer your question, they are based on Knight Transportation. Rick is right--I am in the process of upgrading. I do apologize for not getting back to you until now.

He's brought the price down again.

Matt, you know all the headaches that come from designing the graphics. Printing "can" be as much of a headache due to the lack of printers that can print white. Until something better comes along, I will continue to use the ALPS. I have printed on white and clear inkjet in the past, but just couldn't get the necessary results to continue that way. I have pondered some of the newer technology, but haven't found anything as of yet, at least for the small, home-based business like myself. Outside of trying to find a good ALPS printer, I can't give you much advice.

These were mastered by Tim Sherman not Eric, but who knows what is in the works.......

Tim has allowed me to manage the site now, and I am currently working with my web designed to get everything uploaded. I have pics going back several years and it's taking time to get it all together. The new site will be modeltruckin.com/tmc

I believe that is Dave Natale of AITM.

Like Ben said, I'd take 2!!!
