Re: Great to meet you

Well, it's been a few weeks since my initial post because I had to source the decal film that I was after, and found a high quality colour printer, all during Lockdown II, but I'm really pleased with the final results. I was after a more professional finish than a sticker and I think it looks pretty good.

What do you think??

Thanks Moggy :)

As nobody else seems to be doing it, I'm considering supplying sets of the decals via sellmyretro in case other people want to finish off their ZX80 in the same way.

You might want to post this on the German ZX forum too as there is a lot of ZX80 interest on that forum,some of their members do look here occasionally as well.

Take my money! I had a bit of a retro-brighting mishap with the main ZX80 logo on my later moulded model. It went a funny colour. Are these available to buy somewhere?
