Sounds good. No pressure here. Which ever is the best way to go for you.

I had obsolete decals made for our dozer once . As everyone has already stated , good photos and measurements are key . I went to Poster Burner online, gave them photos and sizes . They were printed not stacked decals. Mind you they were not the thick base material your looking for , but I have never inquired to see if someone can print one different base stock. Good luck.

FWIW, if I was going to repro these, I'd take one of the best head-on photos, bring it into Adobe Illustrator and simply redraw the graphic right on top of the image. Would make a practically perfect repro and you'd have superior vector art for the printing equipment.

I have made my own logo's and decals such as the pictured examples.
I bought a variety of inkjet decal paper from this outfit,

They have clear adhesive vinyl or white adhesive paper.

I have used pictures I have taken myself or something I could copy from the net.
I size it to what I want and print.
When the ink is dry I cut it out and clear coat, sometimes before applying, sometimes after, depending on surface situation.

Are those belt guards polished.... :bigeyes:

Yes, aluminum. The originals were rusted through so I fabbed them from an old traffic/road sign.

Nice work!:ThumbsUp:

I use a product called Lightburn to import images and convert to vector format (The format needed to cut on a vinyl or laser cutter).

It is not free but they have a full function 30 day trial. Just choose any laser cutter at startup if you don't have one. Open the jpg/png/bmp then right click and choose trace image and select the delete image after trace. The clearer the image the better it works.

Inkscape is another product that does similar functions and it is free.

On another note, anyone know what the Cub Cadet and "100" font is for a 100 era tractor? i was thinking of making some custom ones from scratch.

thanks.
