Today I can happily announce the ressurection of the "FAUSTS` VINTAGE COLLECTION."
For the People who don`t know the VINTAGE COLLECTION, the Vintage Collection started with a sheet of printables for your dio. The first had Dutch Enamel Commercial Signs. Soon I found out there were some mistakes made and then I had a problem with my computer. The whole story can be found here: FVC What went wrong???

Ok I promised everybody who received a sheet from me would get a new one as soon as it was finished. While recovering the files I also found out that some of the signs were not fitting the date and were post WW2. I now have solved that too and all the plates are now definately 1900 to 1945 and not later then that. The file is also in 300 DPI for the best quality. The one I post here is an Example of what the sheet looks like and is Internet Friendly so the DPI is low and so is the print quality.
Everybody who already had the first set of plates send me your Emailaddress in a PM and everybody who simply wants the sheet of The Vintage Collection do the same and you`ll get it ASAP. The 300 DPI file is over the 1,5 MB so make sure you send an E-mail address that supports that size.
here is the example:

Let me know what you think of it and let me know if you want one

Howdy FAUST,

Many thx for reposting your 'collection'! I got part of the first time around, and appreciate the second chance. I'm going to have to plan my 'saving' of your collection better this time as well.

I want to say thanks to all for the feedback in de mail as in the PM`s as in the forum they are great.
Graywolf: The dutch roadsigns is in the planning stages and I actually have all the sizes for it so I can start on that very soon.

Now it could be that I forget somebody to send the collection. If you haven`t received the file a day after you Pm-med me leave a message and I will make you get it ASAP. For the people who like this goodie too. Just drop a PM with an E-mail adress that supports large files and you`ll get it

Robert - I printed your signs on HP Photo paper using my color printer.... excellent results. To eliminate the "shine" of the paper I then sprayed a light mist of Dullcoat and they look perfect,. Would you like to sell your line on my website? PM to me if interested and we can work something out. i have almost 1500 images from every country in WWII (including Brazil and Argentina!), and was considering offering something similar... you seem to have a nice format for this...
