Around here in our city and probally lots of other citys, you see trucks that have a decal or something that covers the whole rear window in there trucks, like- military, harley, flags, ect. there was a member on another site that used to make these, i cant get ahold of him, is there anyone else that makes these. If you need a picture of what iam talking about, let me know and maybe i can find a picture. Opps forgot to say, i want them for my 1/24-1/25 model pickups

The real ones are vinyl so I would think any print shop sign shop or shop that does car wraps should be able to print you a sheet with about a dozen on a 8 x 10 sheet. Just ask them the worst the can do is say no.

Good luck in your search.

If you can't find the person you're after, you should just be able to print the image out and install it from the inside....the real shades/screens are like tint anyway, so seeing in through them isn't an issue. To deepen the effect I'd put a second inner layer of black paper or smoke tinted mylar** on the inside after installing it.

** if you use regular camera film, or if you know somebody who develops film, blank negative 35mm film makes nice tinted window material. It's thin enough for scale purposes, cuts to shape with normal scissors, and glues easily with KrystalKleer or epoxy.

If you have a printer you can print what you want on clear decal paper and then install the decal on the window. The clear decal paper is perfect for this. Hope this helps ya. Dan

Darrin, I'm not sure if I am the person you are referring to but this is what I have created and shown on a few other sites. I posted some of these to show folks what they could create using their own computer and a simple inkjet printer.

Below is just one of the sheets that I created and what it looks like on the finished build.
