Decal needed

I have finally found a tagged car that I really want to model. This car is Jello approved and was seen in tolerant Oregon. Is there anyone who can make this decal for me?

I am capable of making this type of a decal but with my current project-load, that wouldn't happen for quite a while.

I took a stab at it on a covered hopper, using my paint pens, as I didn't have a SP boxcar to do .  Tagging is addictive.

How many decals are we talking about here? It appears that this will be a one-off, that makes for an expensive decal.

How much are you willing to spend on one decal?

For me that is not a problem - with the Alps doing one decal is very doable (drawing the artwork is the most time-consuming part).

I totally agree with you Pete. As a semi-retired graphic designer/illustrator I pretty much know what it's going to take to make a vectored drawing using the given photo.

I didn't know if he was expecting a freebie or not. I'm sure that your Alps supplies (as well as your time and talent) are not cheap.

My hobby time is so backed up with my projects that I almost never take printing decals for other people.  There are exceptions. I have also done few group projects here, like some ICHABOD graffiti and the IH tractor logos.
