Robelwell202 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ok, I've got all three versions of Yamato's 1/60 Destroid Tomahawk. I love 'em! Only one problem, though... The Olive Drab version comes ONLY with an 'Add-on' decal sheet, whereas the original tan comes with a full sheet of standard markings... Well, Tan's sheet has a lot of different options, but there aren't enough decals to split between both itself, and Olive Drab. Add to that, 'Special Weathering' has a water-slide decal sheet. I wish I could lay hands on two more of those sheets. Now, as far as the sheet I want is concerned, I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for a full, unused sheet. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

R How about taking the decals to a local specialty print shop and see what they can do for you along the lines of decal sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R See the Destroid thread. The Olive Drab is supposed to come with a normal set of stickers. I didn't get one, and I heard that one other member on the Destroid thread had the same problem. so as I suspected, it looks like Yamato screwed up a whole batch of them. I managed to get Yamato to send me one, but if you're outside Japan I suppose you can get Overdrive to send you stuff since they deal with broken/missing parts. The waterslides are only for the Weathered, though, so guess you would just have to buy more Tomahawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place (not sure I can give out the name, here)I got the figures from said that Olive Drab only comes with the 'add-on' sheet... but I did suspect some BS. I'll give overdrive another try, tho... see if they get back to me this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I just made a hi-res scan of the normal figure's sticker sheet, and in my free time I'm going to make a workable sheet to print as waterslide decals from it. I wouldn't recommend just taking the sheet and scanning it to directly print on decal paper, as Yamato's sticker printings are still not the sharpest...

Robelwell202 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Would you be willing to share the scan file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Sure thing... it's not the highest Res, but it's pretty good... I'll upload it to my site and post it here later today!

mechatek Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hey promethuem5, I'm willing to pay for one of those sheets when ever you make it. Any chance for the Defender and soon to be released Phalanx decal sheets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I dunno... I'm not planning on getting the other two in the immediate future, but I will definitely own them eventually. I haven't even really begun to think about making these decals yet... it'll probably happen over the summer, and I don't know if they'll be the kind of quality I'd want to sell. They'll likely be a two-sheet affair with one set of clear backing decals and one set of white backing decals for stuff that needs to be opaque or not as I don't have any special printing equipment or anything.

Robelwell202 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hey, folks! Well, just as soon as I posted the message about my first 'failed' attempt to contact overdrive, they sent me a message saying that they had the decal sheet for me! Don't I feel silly. Anyway, Thanks to you all for all the help! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
