Is there a person or service who can upsize a new decal sheet to a larger size/scale? There is gold involved so it would have to be done with an Alps or similar-type printer. Any help is appreciated.

Basically you are asking about custom decal producers (size is not really relevant since the enlarged artwork needs to be made).  :)

See this post for some info on the subject.  You of course will have to discuss your needs with whichever company you select.

And remember, this  process is not as easy as just scanning the sheet and printing it out (especially if metallic inks are used). Speaking as an Alps printer owner myself, the artwork will have to be prepared in vector format and colors will need to be separated. If you cap prepare your artwork, you will save some money.  If you can't do the artwork, I hope the graphic artist at the decal company provided you proofs before printing the decals so you can actually see if they properly fit the model. Remember models scales are not always exact or correct.
