    Some time back I was asked to print some ICI tank car decals for a guy who was 'renovating' a batch of models. I did the job for him but he never paid for them and I still have them. These are for a hornby tank car and are screen printed so are top quality but I have no need for so many. I have put two sets in a pack and if anyone is interested in them I am happy to send them out as long as you cover the postage cost for me. I almost forgot, these are OO scale.

    do you do transfers as a living?
    I’ve had some horrible failures with Laser printing colour transfers.

    I did try to make a business from it but people seem to want everything for nothing. The screen printed decals are solid colour and I apply my products on a black styrene sheet to test them, I have bought inkjet,laser printed decals in the past and I really wonder why anyone would buy them. The problem I have is that I need to print big quantity to get the price down. Sadly I am unable to do one off decals as the set up cost is quite high. You can see some of the other products here. https://www.kangaroohobbycraft.com/s/shop I will put some of the other generic letters and numbers decals up soon as well as the screen printed window sheets I have been doing since 1998.

    Nah, that’s fair enough.
    But getting transfers for your custom models is a real hard thing to do. And when you’ve paid a fortune for the kit....

    as a model producer, I know just where your coming from.
