Re: Ron Percell

Dan,
I am interested in the pounce attachment you have on your plotter.
Which plotter do you have please and is this attachment generic to your machine or an aftermarket addition that might fit my Graphtec?
regards
Tony

Hi Dave,

Re: What about pricing.........?

500k a year hmmmmm.

I understand Rodericks point, the client might not want others to know what they can afford.
I wish the UK had the vast amount of inspiration that "americana" gives to Larry in those fantastic pieces.

Re: Resin or Foam Flat Back Appliques

Amazing, I always thought those little things were cnc'd out of wood or HDU.
Never realised they were some sort of plastic.

IS the back plate from the first picture a mould also?

Good for you for having a go at it.
Its better than I could have done.
