Looking for the Der Grosser Max scheme for a Big Daddy - googling did not turn up a site for Excelsior Rocketry. Does anyone know if these can be bought anywhere these days?
I haven't thought about those decals in years! Back in 2008, I worked with Phred to create the Der Grosser Vati decals.
See,
https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/new-decal-from-excelsior-rocketry-der-grosser-vati.118111/
I had the idea, created an initial design, and sent him the file to ask if he could print it for me. He liked it and offered suggestions for improvements. We worked together to iterate on it. I came up with my final take on the art and sent it to him. Then he did a few tweaks (Snoopy on his doghouse, etc) and offered it for sale. [When Gordon took over Excelsior, he may have tweaked it a bit more. I don't recall for sure.]
So, the final design that Phred offered for sale was a co-creation. I don't have any files for that exact version.
I do have the files for my "final" version prior to his last tweaks. With Excelsior defunct, I would be okay with sharing a PDF file of it. You'd be able to print yourself a black version on clear waterslide decal paper anyway.
When StickerShock23 is open again, I suppose that I could offer him the files. Since he offers Der Red Max and Big Daddy decals, he might be interested in offering Der Grosser Vati.
