    Hi all,

    I'm thinking about future releases for 1/18 Hotwheels FXX, but there so many subjects !
    So, if you are eventually interested in 1/18 decals for FXX, perhaps you can help me :

    - Visit the special page on my website ( http://www.dextermodels.com/pages/pollpag.html )
    - Look at different subjects and make your choice by sending me an e-mail

    There's no risk, it's not an order form, it's just to help me ;)
    Thanks !

    Beautifull scheme isn't it ? ;)

    Special decals requests ?
    Well,...all is possible but it's always a problem of cost.
    Actually I draw my decal at my home and send the file to a decal printer in the south of France.
    For all job, he asks me a minimum of 150 sheets. (Cartograf in Italy ask 300 sheets !)
    So if you have a special request for a single decal sheet, you have to pay for 150...(+ my artwork, of course) !!
    You understand is not a good operation for you...But if you want really, there's no problem ;)

    The main problem for this kind of request, is the white colour
    Because there's no personal printer able to print it (except ALPS Printer, but quality is low and opacity very bad !).
    If your project don't need white (because this is the base colour of your model), a single sheet can be printed using a laser printer with a good quality

    Can you tell me more about your project ?

    It's a modification of a 1/18 scale Kyosho model. I've received a decal sheet design in Coreldraw4 format from a model-car manufacturer so I guess the hard work has already been done but printing it seems even harder. I've had offers from several parties but they failed to deliver. The decal contains a lot of white so I'm aware of the difficulties. I only need two sheets so 150 or 300 is out of the question. I'll keep looking and thanks for the information.

    I understand...
    Well, there's not a lot of solution :
    1 - You find someone with an ALPS able to print your file ( make white x2 for applying two decals on the same place for a good opacity, especially if your model colour is dark)
    2 - You find a company making dry transfert. Generally they're able to make very low quantities for a good price.

    By the way, good luck for your project ;)

    Thanks for your vote ;)
