Something to look at...

Red white and blue bloke - Not as in the yank flag but certainly in our flag, the red would stand out and attract attention to it.

I don't mind the commo's liking it, they ceased to be viable or anything else over 20 years ago.

Do you remember seeing the photos of that prime mover and rig with WW1 and other war memorabillia as well as lots of Auusie flags. It was just magic.

I just had an idea of how to really pull it off. I am writing it down now. yeah baby. lol.

Nice work there Glenn. Would love to have a chat one day about the dimensions of pixils X pixils that you work in. I assume that you are designing these in a computer? I wouldn't mind having a crack at a few designs myself. You never know, you could probably sell tham to some poor blind busa owner if i do a few.

Is there any limit to the colours that you can use? you know what size pallet have you got? 256? 3,000? 16 million?

I gather you print the images onto the sticker so pretty much anything goes?

How about multi layer images?

probably be easier if i get in touch with you by e-mail. I'll send you a PM with my home addy and catch up with you that way.

I sent you an email Geoff with some phone numbers. For comparasions to what you may expect, the tank decal image runs at 3.75 Gig, not meg. 600dpi, full 1:1 size with imbeded colour profile (for the plotter and material) with offset Versaworks vector cut file exported in one giant *.eps file. CYMK colour range. for print output not web graphics. How many layers? Lots. The tank graphic is 50 layers with three colour layer overlay on each. Thats not too bad, Matts graphics where 135 layers (admittably each layer was smaller than these ones). They are a lot different to normal decals down at the print shop. There is a good reason why I am about the only one around who does this sort of stuff. I think it took around 350 hours to make that set that is here. Most of that is waiting for things to save, open or change.

350 hours hugh....? if i do a bit here and there when i have some spare time I should have something finished some time in August.... 2135 give or take a week. FARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are they space proof?

I'll maybe do it the old fashioned way and draw something. If it looks ok and i reckon i'd want it on my trolly then you can do the hard part?

Catch ya.
Geoff

PS got the e-mail. going out tonight so i'll catch you another time. cheers

[GlenTC]

The hard part is my middle name. Is it wrong if that statement reminds me of DJ? Anyways, to be fair, 350 hours was excessive. she kept changing her mind. Everytime, add 25-50 hours to get it back to ready. It might nor look complex but when you get close enough you will know where that time goes. It is quite a throw from simple shapes that are cut at Suzuki or down the markets.

[GlenTC]

Here you go Maxxie. This is what I had in my mind. I never seen the truck but if you have pics of it that would be great.

[Pink Angel]

I absolutely adore the US design Glen. I have always dreamed of having one done up in those colours and design. Maybe one day

[DjPete]

i have to agree would love to see that scheme on a Bus....awesome

[Madmax]

How would you go making the motif into the shape of the large Kanji Gleno? and a deeper red. I'm got people looking for the pictures of the Aussie flaged truck so you can see where I am coming from. Anybody seen it and has it so Glen can see how awesome it looks?
