then he highlights what he has done and separates the image , this took forever
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ac262/n2cus/P1110308.jpg)
then he goes into another program , the on that tell the machine how to print and set the decal out

I THOUGHT POLISHING WAS BORING NOWT COMPARED TO THE DECAL MAKING MALARKY :uglystupid2:
SO SPARE A THOUGHT THE NEXT TIME YOU RING DEL AND HASSLE HIM :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
-
so you were paying attention then Neil :D
Actually it didnt take as long as that, we were messing about with other things as well, did you take those other decals to your mate?
-
they are going today mate
-
Looks better than the original (particularly round the 'PION' of CHAMPION), much cleaner looking.... but sorry Del, but you missed the dot off the 'i' in Hill... ::)
-
thats great to see,been interested to see how it's done.
-
Del,has become and is the decal saviour :daumenhoch:
PS...Did you buy any of those dodgy £20's he been doing? you can see them on the side of your pic :D
-

Neil didnt want the dot on the decal :crazy2:
-
I thought he just pressed 1 button 8)
Talented bloke,imagine how many UK builds or parts would look bare without him :-\
-
Good stuff :daumenhoch:
-

Actually Daz, that's the £40 Neil paid me for some man love before we started the decals, when he said it took 2.5 hours, it really only took 1hour, the rest of the time he was getting some quality time with yours truly :laugh:
-

OK Your a clever lad Del :4_17_5:

-
Respect to Del :4_17_5:
Looks like Del's being doing his own quantitative easing ::) ;D
-
The Rebel decals that Del made up from scratch (didnt have an original to base them on at the time) were better than the real thing. Much nicer brighter colours...lol
Made them up from scratch using old adverts and images from the RAD museum... proper ledg. Didnt think I had any chance of getting repop Rebel decals till I heard about Del. :4_17_5:
-
Ah, the mighty EDGE! Great piece of kit that :daumenhoch:
I didn't know it could print money as well...those £20's almost look real ;D
Top stuff man :daumenhoch:

tough one... there's quite a few decal sets i really like, the first that come to mind are S&M Heavy as F*ck.. they just look so cool, in fact a lot of the S&M decals are just pure art but a MAJOR pain to keep up with.
