Just sent a PM your way. Really hoping there is still a set available!

How do we get together and go-about getting sets made? A group this large should be able to accomplish this.

Quoted from jwilson:

You need someone to vectorize the artwork. There's actually pretty good scans already to work from - I used them to make a quick centre plastic.
I'd do it but it's hours of work for a game I'm not keeping for long. If this guy would send me the files he already has I could likely follow through on the printing and laser cutting.

How easy is the process? What does it take to get it done?

Quoted from jwilson:

You need a vector drawing program like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, and you re-create the lines of the original graphics in the vector style so it can be infinitely re-sized and will print at max resolution.

well, yeah I'm not equipped to do that haha

Quoted from Curbfeeler:

I've already vectorized 1 of them -- the middle one. The scans are very good that were on dropbox a while back.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot I vectorized the slings as well. Duh.

Awesome dude, that rocks. How does a guy go about getting these printed if he has the scans in hand?

Quoted from Curbfeeler:

It's two processes. The printing you need to vectorize and take to a professional printer who can print direct ink to substrate. Not as good as screening but very good. That is what this guy did. The blues are somewhat washed out but acceptable. Then the cutting is a different process. Laser cutting is the best and gives the results shown in the pics.

afraid that may be beyond me

Quoted from PeteB:

Hey guys! Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm in the process of having another batch of plastics made up. I'll have a larger quantity available, but if you could let me know you're interested that would be a big help so I know roughly how many to have made.
Will post an update shortly but the plastics will now come with a new ball lock sticker as well - the down arrow over black and yellow hazard marks.

I will definitely take a set, maybe two depending on the cost.
