Twisted Pins in US have recently announced the availability of FATHOM stencils.. this no doubt will please US based customers as shipping pricing is always a bone of contention which can make a product seem costly. Stencil vinyl ( well the good stuff anyway) that is available in Aus is imported from US.. this can make it difficult for me to compete realistically as all vinyl is brought in by a distributor and he needs his cut!
A few issues have been raised with my FATHOM stencils.. its been addressed and came about when I had to realign the front to the cab sides. I didn't check the spacing and on a computer screen blown up it looks like 200mm gap or so..my registration checks were done with the sides only.. front is such a simple design that I didn't think to actually cut and spray it out.. ooch!
Anyway... Twisted Pins FATHOM is right here..
http://www.twistedpins.com/products/stencil_kits/?ProductID=87I took a look at them and things just didn't look right to me.. I should know, I spent over 25 hours on FATHOM and never want to see a flek inside a letter again.. which brings me to my point. As painful as they are to individually draw as each is individually shaped, it is important that you pay attention to detail and not cut corners.
M on FATHOM looks bare.. quick count reveals 64 fleks where there should be 79... O has 46 where there should be 53, the mermaid tail has none at all! etc etc etc.
Pedantic?.. possibly but these guys also sell HAUNTED HOUSE to which I have the licence.. tut.. tut.
Personally, I don't care if you buy Twisted Pins stencils... McAfee stencils or whoever.. I cant carry them all or possibly make all the files.
But please do bear in mind that in many cases you might be buying wine only to receive fruit juice
