Reproducing Empire Accessory Decals
« on: May 15, 2024, 08:01:53 am »
I was asked about Empire Decals, the ones you'd find on their accessories - which I hadn't any idea other to making them.  Which in my case is a non-starter as I can't even draw a proper stick person.

So I did a google search and found a site that can make them, below is what I got.  Any interest in chipping in for some?  I have also asked what additional sheets would cost.

Thermal Resin ALPS Pricing from Bedlam Creations - Creators of custom waterslide decals for guitars, miniatures, models, and more!

Edit:
Additional Sheets are $43 dollars, so no cost break on extras.

Thanks for your request. Should be able to fit about 60 decals on a sheet.
 
The cost would be $43.00 for a 8”X13” waterslide decal sheet. There would also be a onetime setup fee of $25.00 and shipping would be $9.00 for USPS priority mail.
 
So your total would be $77.00.

A proof would be emailed to you before printing.

The decals are printed on a single piece of very thin transparent waterslide decal film. The decals need to be cut out, however not precise as the film is very thin.  Once clear coated the film will be buried and basically disappear.

There is a member in the Mamod forum that may be able to help you if you only need a few:

Chris (flywheel61) has been supplying decals for years, however he is in Australia and the postage is prohibitive to America so I believe he has arranged with Alan to distribute them.
