Wow , Thanks for the great support guys , Yeah I just wanted to do this car for years so I took a crack at it and I know for a fact that many others have been wanting the same. As far as other decals in the works I have a clear decal that will give the chassis tin work the" tie dye" look with the mottled colors usually with the candy yellow /sepia tones. Other colors I've seen is the candy red and candy blue . They were real popular in the 70's. Other decals I want to do is the 70 Cuda of Jeg Coughlin as well as his 70 or71 Camaro.But that project I'm gonna try to enlist the help of Chuck or someone with an ALPSy thing to do it right(lottsa mettalics). Right now I'm up-scaling the Black Magic to fit 1/16 Revell Vega body or does someone have a better suggestion for a 1/16th Vega body that doesn't have the engine hump that needs to be removed. Thanks again!

I finally figured it out and I have multiple listings on Ebay thanks 1320Wayne

OK Cool Thanks for the tip I think I can figure it out hopefully

It will be relisted. Kind of new with ebay, We wil put it up again, hopefully with multiple quantities.

I forgot to mention I have them on Ebay right now .Thats the only way I could think of to get them out to all that are interested.My Ebay tag is Mondo6020. Thanks

Hi All, just wanted to let You guys know I have made decals of the Black Magic Vega. It's made to fit 1/25 scale Revell Vega body,Gene Snow,Shumacher,and such.I've printed them on white inkjet decal paper and then sealed in 1261 testors lacquer. I wanted for so long to build this car and the best way I could find is make'em myself.The MPC kit was not happinin' to me plus I think the Revell body is alot better.The photo below is the car I made from the decals. Thanks

I am in the process of making 1/25 Black Magic decals for sale on Ebay and hope to also have some in 1/16. Have to work out a few bugs first but I will let you all know If you wanna try them out. They will be inkjet on white paper ( that"s how I made mine) and we all know how tricky they can be.

Yes we have met at Chatsworth and a couple of times at the Cactus Classic in Victorville. I sure do admire your work,I'll get there someday and maybe get a first place by the year 2042. Are you going to the Ventura show this weekend?

Thanks to everyone for the great responses.Some of you have asked about how I made the decals.I only used Photoshop to make these. I'm in the process of learning vector programs for future stuff. So here is what I did for the Black Magic.First I started with the best profile shot of the car then I took a profile photo and a top view of the model car, in Photoshop I put a transparent layer of the real car over the model body and got em lined up and added a measurement grid over that. That's my master photo. I then used the pencil drawing effect in Photoshop to mak a colorless "blueprint" for the decals. I made scaled prints of the profile and top views, went to Kinkos copy and made 300% enlargements.Using large black posterboard I transfered the images to the board with white chalck paper. I then used frisket paper and tape ,painted the decals with an airbrush. After that I scanned the artwork on a Epson Stylus scanner reassembled and reduced the images to fit back into the master photo. The top of the car was all freehand and french curve templates. I printed the compiled sheet on a Canon Pixma iP4500 inkjet printer using Bare Metal Foil white inkjet paper on glossy photo setting. It seems real tedious but this was the way I came up with not knowing graphics programs. I would really like these to be redone on a proper Alps printer, maybe I could work something out with Chuck Boerne, but I'm sure I missed a few steps in explaining this clearly but feel free to ask me for further clarification if ya need to.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I've posted my latest builds hoping I have the chops to hang with you chaps. I made the decals on both because I couldn't wait for the McEwen decals from Slixx.( I now know I would have been waiting in vain! )The Black Magic decals were quite underwhelming and didn't fit a proper body so I did'em myself
