Rangers Decal Sheets
« on: September 19, 2022, 12:14:11 AM »

I'm in process of commissioning an etsy seller to do Rangers decals.  They've accepted the commission (which includes a completely redrawing of the logo to make it work with the printer since the OG image is too low-res to use) and now we're working on logistics.  I'm ordering 2 sheets for myself, but if anyone else would like one (or more), please chime in ASAP.  Total price is partially dependent on the number of sheets we're ordering.  APPROXIMATE price looks to start at about $15/sheet.

Rob, I'm definitely interested.  How many mechs does a sheet handle?  Also, thoughts on going back and decaling the original campaign mechs?

Rob, I'm definitely interested.  How many mechs does a sheet handle?  Also, thoughts on going back and decaling the original campaign mechs?

In THEORY, each sheet gets about 100 decals, but in a variety of sizes and some of the larger ones aren't going to be usable except on a VERY few Mech sculpts.  I'd expect ~70 easily usable decals per sheet.  With the way *I* count decals, that means I can safely count on ~45 minis completed per decal sheet.  Essentially I view this as a 1-time purchase; I will never likely use more than 2 sheets worth, and for folks like Bryan they'll probably never use more than a single sheet but may want to consider 2 for safety.

And GENERALLY no I wouldn't go back and decal the original Mechs, because I'd have to re-varnish the minis and the snow bases don't like spray varnish (the snow was applied after the varnish), but it's at least *possible* to do if I use only brush-on matte varnish instead.  So it's something I CAN do, but something I hadn't really planned on.

Ok, put me down for 2 if we're thinking it's going to be 45 minis per sheet (roughly).  That should cover Ryan and I (I would hope) for the campaign.

Ok, I have a final design from the artist.  I'm going to order a total of 15 sheets so we have a couple in reserve.  Once I have the quote from the seller, I'll post it here and list how much "per sheet" that everyone owes.  Do remember that we aren't just paying for the sheet, but also for a bit of artistic work to clean up the image so it can be made into a decal at all.


Edit since he got back to me.while I was at work still:.
Total price is GBP 232.50, including the design work.



Call it $17 per sheet you ordered and I'll eat the difference.
