Can always try and get it off a picture of a car. Will require a little work but probably going to be your only option unless someone else has done it already.

Dear collectables market....... WHY YOU DO THIS?!?!?!?!?

This here in the kind of random shit that drives me up the wall when I'm trying to recreate something as accurately as possible to real life. I found a 1/24 diecast of this car for super cheap on Ebay so I bought it with the intent of scanning the box art to make assets for use on a Nr2k3 car and a printed decal sheet. So I was working on the mini-wheats character off of the box last night and kept thinking to myself that he looked a little weird..... and then when I actually stopped to compare him to the character on the real car it's...... THE REVERSE SIDE?!?!?!

As in - the early 2000s campaign for Frosted Mini-Wheats involved 'Sweet Side' and 'Wheat Side', literally just 2 sides of the same CGI character in the commercial playing off of each other for laughs. The actual car raced in 2001 clearly has 'Sweet Side' on both the left and right of the car - he is covered in frosting except for a tiny little corner. WHILE ALL OF THE PROMO / COLLECTABLE ITEMS show 'Wheat Side' with only a splash of frosting showing on his side....... why? Just..... why?

*goes and cries in a corner but not really...... but maybe really*

fixed something else that was mildly bothering me: What did the rear of the #9 Dexter scheme actually look like?

Well - picked my way through footage of the races where Dexter was the primary scheme and came up with this. Prior to the race at Bristol in April - the rear graphic showed Dexter being zapped by two live power wires (CENTER below). From Bristol until the Jetson scheme took over - there was only a larger Melling logo on the rear (RIGHT below). The third version (LEFT below) is the variant that appeared on all diecast and promotional materials.

*que the They Might Be Giants music* Why they changed it I can't say - some people just liked it better that way.

Good eye, never realized that change.

One thing that was on my Nadeau diecast that I always preferred was that the numbers were that lime green. Always thought that worked so much better than the orange.

My wife and I had a talk earlier this year about some decal sheets I'd like to produce that either were never made or are just so rare today they may as well have never been made. A lot the late 90s decal sheets from the defunct manufacturer 'WetWorks' fall into this category - especially their prints of the 1998 Powerpuff and 1999 Dexter schemes.

Queue this morning and I receive this as a birthday present from my kids! Gentlemen, never say your wives don't listen to you, lol. I have looked casually for YEARS for one of these sheets to pop up on ebay - and Lorna tells me she found it on Facebook from some modeler liquidating their collection.

When I think of Slip, I think more of like a fancy a bar of soap. A fancy looking bar of soap that reminds us of how clean, beautiful and sharp your work is! Soap is also slippery!
