So... My front decal on my RFM was a little beat up and I was looking to replace it, I didn't want to spend my cash on a decal set either. I work as a graphic designer and have a access to a solvent printer at work so I decided to create my own.

I fort started out by replicating and vectorizing the Revenge From Mars logo. The I tried finding a higher resolution of the two UFO's. After a while I had the file created and printed and honestly I was really surprised by the results comparing it to the original decal. The reproduction has way more detail and clarity. My reproduction is not a as black as it could be, but this is a printer issue I think.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

I'm glad you guys like it!

I am thinking about making side art with the same detail, but to be able to do this I need a at least a 800 DPI scan of the RFM flyer! Can anyone here supply me with this?

Nice job!

I say this to everybody that complains about the quality of decals and plastics: These decals/plastics are supposed to be looked at a distance that you don't notice the "quality".

Think about the distance that your head is from that front decal when you are standing next to the machine? It's about 1 meter of even more! lol

Same goes to plastics. The slingshots are about 70 cm from your head when you are playing.. you wouldn't notice if they were printed at 100 or 1000 dpi.

If you look at it with a microscope, then all decals/plastics/translites/pf suck really bad!
