    Custom Dry Transfers- coming soon!

    Thanks to the efforts of my new right hand man, Jason, we now have a procedure for making in-house dry transfers!

    While I don't know if I am yet at the point to start taking orders, I'd love to see any artwork for your boats that you need. I'd be willing to have a go at bringing them into fruition at no cost to the first few people that reach out, just to ensure we have the capabilities locked down.

    I'm also thinking that "standard" dry transfers for DSRV markings, depth markings, hull numbers, etc would be a good idea in standard scales such as 1/72, 1/96 and 1/48. If anyone would like to join forces to bring such a product into fruition, I'd love to work together to make it happen!

    What kind of files do you require for your printer? And you would just need a basic outline, etc? I'd certainly be interested in 1/72 dsrv and waterline markings, and probablly other stuff.

      Awesome Sauce!

      Try this! I was going to use the other place you had recommended, but in house one stop-shopping is better!!

      The following is the size I believe s/b good for the Teskey PROTEUS , as the dimensions are not recorded anywhere I've seen, so I guesstimated it by eye.

      Close enough for Government work as my Chief used to say!

      Overall length of "EXP. OCEANOGRAPHIC" should be scaled to 2.50" or 64mm in "mERRImAN" units. (duck!!)

        Ed,

        The "Propulsion Intake" section is roughly to scale with the "USN" section? Both around 2.5" wide?

          Actually Bob, as depicted, slightly larger.

          If the USN section is scale to 2.5" everything would scale accordingly.

              Ed,


              Not sure where my brain was when I saw your inquiry, but as you've got black text on a white hull, why not just print clear decals? You can do that at home with home decal kits. I could do that for you, too, if you'd like.

                  Not at this time Casey.

                  I'm actually looking at the model itself right now. Shouldn't be an issue as a dynamic diver w/today's electronics.

                      Yes Bob,

                      That one photo cover Port AND Starboard.

                      One and a backup would be great!

                      Thanks!!
