Comparing Inkjet Sticker Paper

Inkjet Vinyl Sticker Paper VS Glossy Photo Adhesive Paper

[youbastards]

Cool compare Luke! One point though, what I have been using is Papilio's Glossy Photo Adhesive Film, not the paper. The film is super thin and has no problem wrapping and sticking. I bought a couple of packs of it, so I can send you a sheet if you want to try it out, let me know.

Ah, thanks for clarifying!! Yes, I would love to try a sheet.

Custom Invasion and Other Updates!

My customs get a new home and the site gets new decals and links.

[hellpop]

Love the new gallery. There were a lot of customs there I didn't recognize (or had, at least, forgotten about). Can I suggest adding a drop-down menu to that tab, like you have for the other links on the menu bar?

Can't help but notice you didn't update your decal page, though. Some of us need decals here! Really glad to see more from Rheul and JBoggle too.

Done.

I even left a placeholder for my 12" customs. I moved the ProtoPlanet comics here, as I am no longer selling the ProtoPlanet kits in the store. And I just noticed that there are still some customs I need to add, like the first series of Artmates. So it is still a work in progress!

Cloth Minimate Capes!

I might be on to something here...

[Mystery Man]

That cloth cape on Thor looks great!

I'm wondering how the 1st Appearance Thor body will look with a cloth cape, though, since he's got his black shoulder-pads. Any opinion on that?

[luke314pi]

I will take a pic of that tomorrow and post it here.

You should know, if it looks great I'm going to have more PM's to pester you with.

[luke314pi]

If there is enough interest in these, I would consider making a small run of them to sell in the store. I could make Batman capes too...
