  1. I need to sell off the rest of these so that I can fund my next project. Each decal is $10 + $1 shipping and PayPal fee.

    (The bubbles can be worked out evenly after application. This photo was taken immediately after this decal was applied, but before being completely evened.)

    If you would like to buy one, please send PayPal payments (as "goods," not gift, please) to axelay@nc.rr.com. I have 30 of these remaining.

  2. Can you create a Roy skull 'n bones? With or without the surrounding disc.

    Never tried before. Seems like there are other people who have attempted this before and had success. The skull never really "grabbed" me enough to want one on my car (or shirt).

    Do these stickers install on the inside of your glass? If so it's not going to work for me as I have 5% tint....

    Yes, on the inside of the glass with the design facing outwards.

    I'm IN, especially on the SMS logo.

    Any chance you could have these made in traditional sticky back style? I tried my existing static model on my new Jeep and it doesn't work too well with the soft top.

    Never thought about that before, either. I can ask the print shop, but it would probably warrant another separate run of at least 25 sticky back decals. I'm not sure there'd be enough interest for it, but if I see differently, well... I won't rule it out.

  3. Please note that this thread is also in the Fan Works section. Right now, this thread in the For Sale & Trade section is to gauge whether there's enough interest to warrant sending these designs back to the print shop to be mass produced. If you see something here which you would be interested in purchasing, please be specific and let me know what. If I can generate at least 25 responses for an item, then it's about guaranteed that I will get it made. I am tentatively aiming for around $15 shipped for each decal, and $25 shipped for each shirt. (This may potentially change if I can get greater than 25 "interests" for a particular item, though. The more I order from the shop, the cheaper they can make them for me.) I will try to keep a running tally here of the people who have expressd interest in which item.

    It's taken me a while to get back around to reopening this project from a few years back, but here I finally go. I've created four decals - 2 brand new, 1 which was never before offered here on Macrossworld, and 1 which was the beginning of this entire labor of love. I've had to teach myself a lot about Adobe Illustrator since I've never used it as extensively as I probably should have before now. Get ready for an image-heavy thread...

    First up is a renewal of the original one I made: the UN Spacy "kite" logo. If you have one of my originals, these new ones are much more vibrant in the red color, are made from thicker vinyl, and are guaranteed to last longer in terms of color holding (not fading) according to the new print shop I'm working with.

    Here's the first proof which I just picked up today.

    UNSbacking.jpg

    Here's the first of the brand new ones: The SMS logo! I intentionally added the gray border around the black since I felt like giving it a bit of an "Ozma" touch. I sincerely like this much more than just the black and yellow by themselves.

    SMSbacking.jpg

    I went outside and promptly applied both of them onto the inside rear windshield of my car. The beauty of this is that you never have to worry about the elements damaging your decal.

    Here's another shot from a short distance away to give you a clearer idea of the size. Each one is about 5" in diameter. They fit perfectly under the rear window defroster in my car.

    pairplaced2.jpg

    And one last shot from straight back.

    rear.jpg

    The third one which I had done was a project which I started a long time ago but never got beyond the proofing stage. I had one of these made with my own text info and then decided that it would be a one-off. Well, now that's changed since the print shop I'm working with has indicated that I could change the text all around to say just about whatever I want, and the production price will remain the same (even across different vector files - they don't have to charge for a new job if it's just a text change). What this means is that anyone who is interested could send me the text for what they would want their unique decal to say, and the print shop can make it happen. For your consideration: the UNS Base Pass Parking Decal.

    Important note: If you are interested in this and would want for yours to say something different (obviously), please let me know what message you would want for yours to read. While I can readily edit every field, I was thinking along the lines of customizing the numbers in the orange fields, the name of the base which you would like, and the largest text field ("AXELAY") to correspond with whatever you want (e.g. license plate, car name, etc.)

    A few more from further back to show its size. It's about 6" across and 3" tall.

    frontpass4.jpg

    Last one from head on.

    frontpass3.jpg

    Keen-eyed observers may have seen another non-Macross decal in one of the photos above. I'm a huge Borderlands fan, and Mr. Torgue has become one of my very favorite over-the-top characters in any video game I've ever played. I was absolutely compelled to create a Torgue decal for my car. It just seemed too perfect a match.

    Another from a little further back. This one is quite a bit larger than the Macross decals - about 7".

    torgueplaced3.jpg

    Depending upon the amount of feedback which I get for these, I would like to try to start selling them at $15 shipped (which includes Paypal fees) apiece. Unfortunately, I can't still do $10 shipped like I used to as the new shop is a bit more expensive than the last one. The quality and service is definitely higher, though.

    Also... another project which I've been contemplating for a long time... shirts!

    Please forgive this very crude concept example. I slapped this together in a hurry. The final colors will be much more closely matching. I had contemplated wanting different colors for the rings on the shirts to match the colors of either Hikaru (red), Roy (yellow), Max (blue), or Kakizaki (green), but I suspect that this would be extremely cost-prohibitive. The smallest quantity of these I could have done is 25, and they would cost upwards of $25 each (shipping and Paypal fees included). I'm still on the fence about these unless I get some super strong feedback.

    UNSshirt.jpg

    Next one is the SMS logo on a gray shirt. This one I really like. I feel like the gray border on the logo is unnecessary, and would probably be tossed out with the final printing.

    SMSshirt.jpg

    These would be very high quality screen printing and I've been guaranteed that they wouldn't crack, fade, or wear out before the shirt itself does. I've seen some of the other shirts which this particular shop has made, and I can actually believe it. Same deal as with the UNS one - the smallest quantity I could have done is 25, so these would also be upwards of $25 each.

    Please let me know what you think about these. If I can get enough interest, then I will go ahead and start ramping up production right away. This new shop does super quick work. I had the proofs created in about 2 days.

  4. Very, very excited about this news. I never got the last YF-19, but I have almost all of the Macross 7 VF-19s. So fantastically well-designed. I hope everyone who is saying that this is coming with the FAST packs is correct.

  6. Am looking for the FAST/armor packs for the Bandai cannon fodder version of the VF-171 Nightmare Plus. Would prefer a USA seller, if possible, because I'd like to try to keep the price with shipping below $100. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

  7. I just found someone on eBay selling the FAST packs for $80 shipped. (I hope y'all don't think I got taken... I didn't really shop around, so I made an impulse buy.) I wanted a set for my S.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/271200132943?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    Now it's a race to see which will arrive first - these FAST packs, or my VF-171. And now I'm going to want the armor for it too... Ah well.

  8. I'm still working on number 3 there just for the record. I found a good solution to making the fingers more rounded and still printable through shapeways. I should be able to get an order in this month hopefully.

    Wait a tick... Are you saying that you're capable of creating new hands for the Alpha? I might be all over this. Also, by the by, would you be able to reproduce the hands from either of the masterpiece-sized Cyclone riders? I have no idea how, but on one of my hands, the trigger/index finger became separated from the rest of the hand. Thankfully I still have others, but I really miss that trigger finger hand.
