Thanks Tibs,
Tami and Jim, don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy to sell my Customs.
I just didn't want you to think I posted here out of the blue just to abuse or take advantage of your forum.
Now, if you guys are thinking of having something made for your tournament then by all means get in touch.
The Canada border is a little sticky because of their gift tax but I haven't had any problems with it yet.

I'll take some pics of a disassembled car and give you some insight as to what makes up a HotWheel.

When is your tournament?

Pat

Thank you for that - and as soon as I get caught up on some other stuff around the network (the staff can stop snickering any time now) I hope to get some more artsy stuff posted, along with some new tutorials for photoshop - we seem to be way behind on getting those done.

Our tournament doesn't have a definite date set yet, I have to try and iron out a final deal this coming week. We're looking at August though. As for any import taxes, we'd take care of that - perhaps it would open up a whole new market for you (which is what we do around here, help people succeed at something they have a passion for). Perhaps we could do a limited edition vehicle - for the first 200 or so people who purchase tournament tickets or something. It's something to consider at least.

Thanks Dren,
Tami,
Let me show you how I package my cars.
Besides the Custom representing the event with it's own text and images, I package the cars in these Clamshell ProtectoPaks.
Besides making a great presentation while at the same time protecting the Customs, they allow inclusion of a two sided card that can display lots of information.

Your packaging adds to the attractiveness of your product, Pat - particularly from a marketing point of view. We will definitely have to talk about this further once we've settled on a date and location for the tournament.

Sounds good!!!!!!

Tami,
Is there a specific section here where I should post my new stuff, Decal Graphics and such?

I didn't know if the Introduction section would be right for further posting of my Customs and their Graphic Artwork.

I thought I might post some of the visual How-To's I create as I make new Customs?

We have the "[url=\"http://www.killanet.net/forum/KillaDesign-f97.html\"]KillaDesign[/url]" section, where we have a sub-category for [url=\"http://www.killanet.net/forum/Computer- ... k-f34.html\"]designs[/url], and another for [url=\"http://www.killanet.net/forum/Graphics- ... -f198.html\"]tutorials[/url]

Keep on posting, I enjoy looking at your creations.

For the record...for those staff members snickering away...one site has been crossed off on the list (thank you, Jim) and another is well under way so pfffffffffffffffffffffft. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />
