Hey everyone! I can't get into TOO much detail here because I am not the only one in my house that looks at the forum.

I need some help finding someone that can build 2 identical 4 line foils OR someone who can apply "art work" to 2 existing foils.

Please u2u for details if you have ideas. I have called a couple places so far with no luck.

Thanks in advance guys!

That's Kieron.

In the comments section of his first video:
"By the way, I'm also often asked another question, the answer to which is, categorically, "they are not for sale!" I make kites purely for my own pleasure, not commercially."

While he did do they Stars and Stripes for the NABX auction, I get the feeling he does it for the stoke/craft and doing it as a gig isn't something he is interested it.

Could be wrong

@Mougl: Shoot me an email at my profile email with a phone number and time to call. Might be able to help get you sorted... well with this quest anyway.

ATB,
Sam

Awesome wolf! I'll get that to you shortly

He says he doesn't do these kites to sell because the price would be astronomical if he was to be paid for time/materials. He has to get his "pay" at a higher level than cash can reach.

Sam, thanks a million bro!!! All awesome ideas! S-T-O-K-E-D!

No problem... glad to help. Nice to put a voice to the avatar too.

Perfectly understandable as the work level of his kites are mind boggling.

Sadly while black market cat labor is cheap, they tend to leave pinholes in kites.

Quik n' dirtee solution:


- Custom made stencils (make 'em urself, or get them online, from a local artist, or a vinyl sign making place)

- "Master" Spray Colors - (found in crafts stores), sticks well on ripstop and is recommended in kite building forums.

Good call lad! I put in a call to see what it's going to run for another option. If thus too far out of reach, this makes a great back up plan. I want to try to do it professionally first. (it's for something kind of huge)

Sorry...double post...nothing to see here...
