How about a "Euro arcade collector" or simply "Arcade collector" sticker file ?

And what should be on it ?

And what should be on it....oops thread de-rail....

The baby boy looks great but it's missing one more colour, too much blue imo.

Name it, size it, sketch it, whatever it,  i'll make it  ;D

I agree, any sugestions on this ?
I mean, i can recreate (copy) a little artwork, but creating from scratch is different.
to create you need a creative mind, and mine is more technical than creative in artwork sence..

get what i am trying to say ?
Its like; I can make things based on an original, but to design it myself i am not so creative..

Maybe you can use the pac man color combi.
If you switch the colors a bit around it could work, this one looks like sh*t.  ;)

If it is for a boy, the most important thing to get it boy-ish is remove the hair-band  :shock:

There was a delivered today at my house...

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/babypac/print/1.jpg)

Bruno asked me to print the AI file that i made, so i placed an order at the printer that i tried when i made the galaxian bezel (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2109.0) earlier.
I was planning to use the second printer that i used in the end with the galaxian bezel, in combination with a print im doing for Ully and my crazy kong CPO..
But since that is under development, i dont know when i will print it and it will be expensive to do a seperate run, because they use a flat fee as starting costs.
the quality is much better ofcourse, but hey , Bruno wants it fast so i placed and order at the first printer.

The price was interesting, and i "played" a bit with the measurements of the material when i ordered online to see what was the maximum size for one predefined price.
(they use scales with fixed prices, so for example, this print that you will see in the folowing pictures is the same price as a print from 30 x 30 cm)
The maximum widh or length (depending how you look at it is 145 cm. i guess that is the roll size of the material...)

If the quality is not satisfying, we can always order at the other printer at a later time.

Anyway, lets open it up..
Nicely packed...

Lets roll that out and see whats on the vinyl.
Ofcourse i need my "little helper" (and wife not to forget  ;))

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/babypac/print/3.jpg)

Looks like we have enough stickers now..
You only need to cut it Bruno.

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/babypac/print/4.jpg)

I will try to ship it as soon as possible to you Nuno!

Since you're in Breda anyway Etienne, you could have posted it in a Belgian post office....also saves international rates.... I've done it before too.
Of course only when I was either working close to the border (Ossendrecht) or actually in Belgium already (to visit Luc)...could have been a nice "test drive" for the new Mits....nice car by the way !

I _could_ hand you the original (IF I remember where I stored it !)

i guy in austria (alexander) is already working on reproducing those. he showed me some examples when he was over picking up his toobin and i have to admit: they already look great! the material is extremely close to the original one, just needs to figure out a few details. i've also told him there are other silver stickers we need, i'll have to ask him for an update on this. perhaps we could start an extra thread with euro stickers we'd like to see reproduced, it doesn't quite fit the "baby on board" title! :D

You're right, new thread here: (Bruno, suggestion, maybe it's time for an "Artwork"  section ?)

Just awesome isn't it?  :-*

Now, let's see if that 'outside' version of the sticker will resist the Belgium weather  ::) 8)

Thanks again Etienne for that great gift, or let say -i you prefer- a contribution to this website  :P  :-*

Hiya guys.

Now it's my turn to get a baby... :)
The girlfriend is due 20th may, so only 1 month left.
I sure would like to get one of those "Baby on Board" stickers on the car :)
We don't know if it's a boy or girl. so i have to print both the pink and blue edition.

But what size did you print ?
And what kind off "Paper" did you use?

Congratulations!  :) :) :)
It's strange that you should bring up this old thread again. I was just looking at it 2-3 days ago. I love the baby pac sticker, and will surely print one when we have a baby. What does the expecting mother think of the sticker idea?
How about printing it on plain paper with cardboard and using a suction cup from a different sign?

congrats on the baby !

I believe Bruno requested some of 30 cm diameter and some smaller ones like 12 cm diameter

i ordered at some online printer which prints on stickervinyl :

I Always use Polymer and glossy laminate there to get maximum protection and durability
