Items to be restocked soon

Hello everyone,

It has been about a week since the online store was opened and I am glad to say that all orders received have been successfully shipped from both Rocast Models and Rocast-Digidecals without problems.

I want to thank you all for the trust, for the patience and support for my work and my items. Starting this new online store represented the preparation of all the items that I created so far, as I wanted to open the store with all the items in the catalogue, this took me a very long time but I kept on pursuing my wish.
Currently, some items sold out during the last days, but I am already working on new stock units and also hoping to continue with future projects.

From this point, items will be added to the store regularly and will do my best to keep them in stock. The first units I am planing to restock are the Neo engines, AST-1, catering truck, and so forth.
I would like to remind that Rob is moving his workplace thus the printing of the decals will be on hold for some time until he is established and printing can resume, this time with the rest of the decals available. In the meantime, I would like to do a few more liveries for the A350.

I am finishing the painting/decaling guide that I started together with the A350 China Airlines pheasant livery, so I hope that this guide can be helpful to somebody.

Thank you all for your time and interest!

Best wishes,
Guillem

Store open

Hello everybody,

Finally the new online store is online and operative. Stock units may be a little limited as I had to start from zero making as many units as I could with the material I had. Material keeps coming so I am looking forward to have a better control of the stock with the time.

Two things I like to mention are; on Monday it is local holiday here, therefore postal offices will remain closed, however, orders will be prepared during this time without problems. The stock for the livery decals will be a little limited at the beginning because Rob is currently changing his workplace, so printing will be resumed upon settled in the new location. The aim is to restock the livery decals on August.

If anybody finds an issue with the store, please feel free to write me a message.

This is the link to the new store:

I would like to thank all for the patience, it hasn’t been easy but I did my best and hopefully the store will have new items soon. I also hope the store is of your liking and that you can navigate through it sucessfully.

Best wishes,
Guillem

A350 China Airlines “pheasant” finished – Store opening Friday 13th

Hello all!

I am glad to announce that I have finished the A350 and with this, a guide I am writing on painting and decaling, giving some tips to avoid the errors I made in past models, and also glad to announce that tomorrow I will publish the new online store here.

Hopefully all will work well, it has been a long time to prepare everything, test everything, so I am really hoping that all will go well. There is still some material on its way, so once I receive everything I will be adding stock to the store in due course.

Thanks to everybody for your patience!

This A350 shows one of our A350 liveries that will be in our catalogue very soon. I would like to thank Rob at Wessex Transfers for his trust and skills to print these livery decals that I’ve been working on for such a long time, this will be one of the first of many to come under our brand name Rocast-Digidecals.

Best wishes,
Guillem

Airbus A350 China Airlines “pheasant” – decaling process

Hello everyone,

It has been quite some time since my last post, but I have been working on the A350 that I wanted to build prior launching the new online store.

This project is serving as an example for a guide that I am currently writing where I explain tips form errors I learned in the past on painting and decaling, and also to test/show some of the decals we have been working on.

This is a photo of the decaling process, I am hoping to apply the final clear coat this weekend, so it will be finished soon.

The store is being fine tuned even more, tests have been done with good results and there has been a lot of artwork adjustments for the decals recently. Material is still on the way, but I keep my plan of opening the new store during the second week of this month.

Best wishes,
Guillem

Stock units done

Hello everybody,

I am very glad to say that finally the stock units have been completed. During the last two weeks I have been preparing the photo etched parts and items are now ready for the very latest preparation, which simply consists into finish the packaging process.

At some points during all this latest preparations, things have not been easy, personally and with the PE units, but I tried my best to keep working on these items step by step and it is rewarding to see the completed work.

I have also been working on the livery decals which I am hoping they will all be available from the store opening; decals for the A320, A320Neo and A350.

On regards when the store will be open, I can give now a more clear (and assured) time, which will be at the first or second week of the next month. The reason being that I have used up all the materials I have previously aquired to prepare all these units, therefore I need this prudential time to receive more of the raw materials so that I can continue to produce more items upon store opening.
I can find most of the materials I use within my area, however, after several tests, there are some special materials that works best for me that need to be purchased overseas.

The second reason is that I want to do an out of box build of the Airbus A350 featuring the China Airlines Mikado pheasant livery.
It won’t be a personal choice build (although after a long time, it will be a good practice for me) but rather a build that I intend to make in order to show how our livery decals work, to give tips and advices in a PDF file guide I am about to start and to show/explain how our interior window decals look/works.
I calculated that this build will take me more or less the same time I will be awaiting for the material to arrive, so it will not be time wasted.

The two areas I would like to cover in this model build guide are: painting (including 2k clear coating technique) and decaling with tips/ideas along the way, explaining things in a way considering the mistakes I made on my learning and where experience have been obtained from these. It may not be anything new for you, but hopefully it can also serve as an example of our livery decals to which Rob and myself have put a very big effort in.

Stay tuned as during the next week I will be publishing some steps of this A350 build progress! (And I don’t forget all the other projects that I mentioned in previous posts, which will be started once the store is up and running after this long time of preparations).

Best wishes,
Guillem

Last week of units preparations

Hello all,

I know I repeat myself quite a lot on the stock units preparation, but I am glad to say that this will most probably be the last week that I need in order to finish all the photo etched parts.

I am also about to prepare a PDF tutorial-guide-example on the process of painting, decaling and clear coating the A350 in the China Airlines special scheme featuring the Mikado pheasant. I will be sharing few photos of the process on the blog prior the creation of the file.

Photo etched parts aside, I have also been working on the A350 decals with hopes they could be available for the store opening. I am still working on some of these liveries, and I still have to write the guide on using the interior window decals but I am on it.

I am going to update the site the next weekend!

Lastly, I would like to write a message for a visitor; I have received a message, but it is possible the email address given is not valid; every time I try to reply to the email address I was given, I get a mail delivery error, please Andreas DUDA, if you are reading my message here, try to contact me with another email address as I get an error writing to the email address that was indicated in the contact form.
