So have you completely abandoned this then? Not the sort of behaviour I would expect from a mod... Many people have put in a lot of work with their design and it would be such a shame for it to be wasted.

 

[jdlenton]

No this is not abandoned I will be handing over all the graphic to g4ghb in the next few day and what do you mean by "not the sort of behavior you would expect for a mod" I am only human and I have periodically updated the thread to let people know I am having a little trouble time, family and other I did ask for some help in my last post but none has been offered so what do you want me to do? make and extra couple of hours in a day? I thought you more than any one tommy would understand that you cant sit in front of a pc all the time.

Well, it is over four months overdue... and your last response was one month ago.

Yes, I know that these things takes a lot of time and especially after my first group buy I was completely snowed under for a while but I finished what I had started even if other things had to be pushed back a while.

 

[jdlenton]

can't push back a 1 year old but point taken about finishing what you start.

I'd be very very interested in a few square inches and was going to suggest the same myself at some point.

Maybe someone here could help me find a font I need... I want tone similar to that used by Thomas Pink the shirtmaker or Purdey the gunmaker... have a little look at their websites. It's like a fat serrifed outline font with fine lines across the hollow spaces.... if you get me!

I've been unable to find anything like it yet on the free fonts online but there are millions so maybe i haven't looked hard enough.

Count me in for atleast 3 inches if it's going.

Any links? I might have some relevant resources.

The kind of fonts you're probably looking for are ones like chevalier, honduras or EF Escorial - all of which are commerical fonts however. You might be able to find a free one using these as search terms though...

I'm also going to be an awkward sod and ask whether there is still space left for another design - something like a small image about 1-2cm square to stamp the things I'm starting to make.

If so, let me know who to send it to and I'll fire it off ASAP - if not, no worries!

 

[g4ghb]

pm sent match mate!

 

[jdlenton]

right the layout is pretty much there I have a few questions for some of you and I will pm you all being well the final print should be done by Wednesday

Try this font here....

http://www.fontpool.com/fonts/urw/chevalier.html

It's called Chevalier Stripes SC D

 

[weekend_warrior]

Was that the font you were looking for - do you want me to look for others like it?

 

[g4ghb]

I'll step forward and take the risk of answering for match - yes that was fine thanks!


- only that he has sent me the design now so I assume he is happy!

 

[weekend_warrior]

Cool - I'll pack the font search engine away then..

 

[match]

It wasn't me - it was Espy looking for that font I just mentioned some suggestions on which one to use...

Since I'm confused, I'll just ask - have you got my design successfully? (small crow) ?

 

[g4ghb]

YOUR'E confused!!!!!

yup we received the crow - James is tweaking it now!

I was going rummaging in my engraving books to see what sort of name/description it has... Slightly different from TrueType! I've definitely seen something similar in one of the books.

Any news on this one?
