Replica waterslide transfers

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

Thanks for the feedback. My personal litmus test is asking myself would I be happy with it fitted on my own vehicle. At this moment in time, dimensions are excellent but the gold finish need to be better. Heading in the right direction though.

It was good but not good enough. Artwork now sent to print after finding a second company who can produce a transfer using a gold foil finish to achieve a better quality product; and a finish I suspect the original transfer had based the original Singer cycle/ motorcycle transfers I have seen. Increased cost, but worth it in my opinion. Exemplar gold foil finish shown.

Hey David,

Yes...I do believe you are right...that gold foil finish looks more like the remains of the rear wing transfer I saw on a Nine saloon!

I'm with you..the increased cost is more than off-set by the better detail...

Well, the gold foil batch arrived and they look amazing and are worth every penny. I have a batch ready to ship. Quality cost I am afraid they will be £16.50 inclusive of postage. However, if you have ordered a 'S' badge(s) from me and will cut you a good deal. PS. I am collecting the 'S' badges on Tuesday and they will be shipped directly off for chrome plating.

Many thanks to everyone who posted an expression an interest in these transfers...I have ten transfers left that are ready to go. Drop me a message if you would like to make a purchase. For those who 'order' an 's' badge- I finally collected the polished castings this afternoon and they are now with the platers. As the transfers are delicate things and need to be kept flat I'd prefer to ship the transfers/ 's' badges as separate items to avoid damage. Cheers
