Great skin by the way! :way to go: |
No problem Ekkie! and thanks for the publicity... ha ha! even though I'm not doing this for profit. I do have some new ideas which I hope to work on soon, but in the meantime, just to tide you guys over, here are some tips:
The material used is basically a vinyl adhesive sticker. There are different kinds. My first attempt made use of wall paper. The problem with that was it was thicker and therefore harder to stretch and therefore lead to some creases near the edges... What I did like about wallpaper though was there's a wide range of textures to choose from (there was a funky "wood finishing" I was tempted to try too!)
My second attempt (and what you see now) made use of vinyl decal stickers (the kind used by people to dress up their cars). While not as thick as wallpaper, it's pretty durable stuff (especially since it's made to withstand 3-5 years of rain and other abuses from the weather). Currently, this is what I would recommend you to use.
The third option (which I have not tried, though I suspect it to be just as good as the second) is to use the vinyl stickers which people use to mod their xbox and playstation 2 consoles (just do a search, there are tons on the web).
I'm looking into obtaining some white (car) decals so that I can print my own designs for future versions of the skin. But currently my magician/ jam/ mini is in the workshop for some repairs (non-modding related, sd card slot problem).
So if anybody has any questions on how to make this work, feel free to ask.
