Very cool!

Again... thanks for sharing mate...
Printing them allready! How big do you print them?
What percentage of the original?

You'll see them soon in the Belgian pitboxes!

Cheers

should print out at 100% to give the ones I have, though maybe they should be a little bigger? I can't decide. (300dpi)

 

[tDI_Fahrer]

Sorry, I was wrong... they printed far to big at first!

My mistake!

Those are very cool and just in time, thanks for sharing.

Lee - I was reminded and inspired by the green work benches in your pit lane! (are they carrera ones or from somewhere else?)
The coke machine looks good on your layout too

 

[ListerStorm]

Yes the green benches are from Carrera's site. I wanted to use the Frostie machine you have but since I work for Coca-Cola I had to use the Coke machine.

The thing I did with my machines and benches instead of being cardboard I used balsa wood and cut it to size, printed out the image on decal paper and stuck them on. To make sure the decals stayed in place without peeling I then used clear packing tape and covered all the decal areas.

The machines and tool boxes look great, guys!

Lee, I used the balsa approach on some HO scenic items for my last permanent track (tool boxes, shipping crates, even timing computers!

). I primed, painted, and clear-coated the balsa (this gave a super smooth surface), then applied decals and clear-coated again (gloss or matte depending on object). Balsa is so easy to work with and you get a nice solid object when finished.

astro, Great job on the tool box, but the scene looks kind of kinky. Why is the driver standing in the corner with his helmet on and looking at the Hot blonde in the short skirt. It looks like his hand is cupped and reaching for something in front of him!
