Everything but the side art is available and there is a good chance that TOG will have this soon (because I will keep bugging him :laugh2:)
Edit: still no good options for the t-molding

It's great stuff and it smells good. No problems with using it inside. I'll ship you 10 cases, you mark it up 10x and we'll split the profits ;D
Of course we'll need a preorder first :laugh2:

I'm seeing things...
Spyridon:
Good news. Rich at ThisOldGame has confirmed that he will be running the side art. It will probably be available next month. Now if I can only dig out of the 2 ft of snow we got here today and have the weather warm up a bit so I can paint!

Now that the weather is getting better it's time to get back to work. Pulled out the Mappy to work on it. I removed the old legs and added in new nylon legs to make the cab easy to move around. While I was doing that, I got a good look at the bottom of the cab. It's in very bad shape. I think I will need to replace the whole bottom. Not sure how I'm going to do that. Sides also are not in good shape. I just found a wood shop near me that has high end cnc machines and a lazer system that can automatically size and render an object. I'm going to talk to them about what it would cost to cut a new cab for me. Not sure if it's feasable, but worth looking into.
I've always been told that Mappy used 1/2" orange t-molding and that is hasn't been reproduced by anyone. I decided to measure and my cab is exactly 3/4". I pulled some left over orange t-molding from my pac-man restore and tried it out. Perfect fit.
