No More Sandman (Excelsior) Decals!

From a post yesterday on Y.O.R.F. -

Sandman Decals used the OOP Alps printers, a specialized unit that could print white and metallic decals. Home and office inkjet and laser printers only use red, yellow blue and black.
Sorry to hear this, I have rockets with Gordon's decals. They were always great quality and transferred easily.
Gordon did add he still makes custom nose cones and adapters.

  1. Chris, I have an alps printer and I do make decals but not for resale. Since you have given so much of you time to the Rocketry hobby I will make you decals if needed just let me know. Free of charge. David.

    Sad to see another rocketry vendor closing shop. I ordered several sets of decals from Sandman a couple of months ago for the first time for some clones I was building. Also ordered two MX missile nose cones, one for the missile and one for a mini mars lander. Excellent custom turning and price, fast turnaround time. Tried BMS, they don't do custom nose cones any more. Wishing you the best, Gordon!

    1. Hi Greg,
      You can check with him. I would imagine he has quite a few decals already printed and available. While the website doesn't seem to be active, you can PM him (Sandman) on The Rocketry Forum.
