    Rich, i can guess which bit was printed, but why?
    some jobs are still better in cut vinyl.

    looks good Rich,

    i’ve got another 3 to do yet, and now about 5 ambulances! i’d rather do the trucks with their nice flat sides though.

    just noticed in one pic, you’ve cut the battenburg (blue) on one sheet, i shope you used the ‘missing’ bits for the other side!

    with these trucks i often find it better to simply cut and tape the squares on one sheet, number them all (like pirces of a puzzle), cut them into individual pieces, and hang them all in position before applying them, it takes a bit longer, admittedly, but if there’s any kind of curve, swage line, etc, it’s a whole lot easier to do one at a time (seconds for each panel once positioned).

    anyways, don’t mean to teach yer granny to suck eggs! smart job as always!

    Hugh

    rich the vinyl waster !!!
    mate could not be messing used 9 meters of blue reflective and binned the missing bits they are cut with rounded edges customer was fine with price so just cut 2 3.6 meter lengths, save more time than material cost
