I started trying to make my own stickers from actual part photos. I haven't tested them or verified their sizing.
I did it in Photoshop but I attached the jpg version for viewing.

Speaking of Datsun models, I can't seem to find a really nice polystyrene 1:24 model kit. Anyone have a good lead on one?

There's a few to start with - I have both the Tamiya and the Fujimi - nice kits - reasonably detailed - though obviously always right hookers and nearly ALWAYS some flavor of SR iso SP

Cool, thanks for the links. I found the Fujimi racecar version on ebay, but couldn't seem to find anything else.
Also, I'm confused: Is Nitto a version of Tamiya? Tamiya makes some of the best model kits out there (I'm currently sitting on their 1:24 P-51, a $125 kit) so I'd probably get that one.

I knew about that one, but honestly, it doesn't interest me.

Didn't someone on here get a 3D printer? Think some money could be made replicating the leaxan body. I know I want one for an rc car but not for $125 bucks =/

No need to use a printer. Just get someone with said body to make a plug (wax the mold on the inside, and pour plaster in it), then you can heat lexan and make your own bodies with a vacuum table.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Vacuum tables are cool. We actually 3D print molds here and use them in the same way.

Been in Europe. How many DPI do the sticker scans need to be?
