Hacker/Engineer holos ALL GONE NOW.

Yes, FOC. No, not "friends of Carlotta", FREE OF CHARGE. No catch (well, ok - ONE catch. I can only do the ones I have left for this).
Every so often, I will do a batch of these holos up for the local players. Over the last couple of years, I have ended up with leftovers for some of them. While I still have spares of these, I will endeavour to send them out until I run out. I have already made back my costs on these, this is why these leftovers are free.
I have made this offer on the official forums. I have made it on the Infinity Australia FB page, and I now make it here.

They are laserprinted onto clear overhead projector transparency sheet, and approx the same size as the sheets that used to be included in the blisters.
If you need some, and I have THOSE ones in stock, I will be happy to post them to you, FREE OF CHARGE, no trades required. You do not even have to pay postage.
You need merely PM me with a request for which ones you want and supply a POSTAL DELIVERY ADDRESS. I don't care if it's a PO box or a residential address.

I currently have the following available.

PanO - Hacker x1 (orange)
Haqq - hackerx3 (yellow/orange)
Yu-jing hacker x5 3 of one kind, 2 of the other. The one with the 5x circular holos is actually supposed to be "engineer" but CB have both labelled as "hacker". (blue)
Nomad hacker x1 (green)
Alephx3 (purple)
Holoechoes x4 (2 per) bashi bazouk boarding shotgun. (greenish blue).

Just doing my part to help people out. I have a laser printer and these were printed by me at home.

Looks like I've taken care of the surplus.
I'll get back on here when they are all sent off. Some of you may not get all that you wanted, but you should all get some.

I'll adjust the title to reflect that they are now all spoken for.

c-dog.

ALL holos sent to their respective wanters.
Expect them in a week or so (It usually takes a week to get international mail from Europe or the US to here. I'd expect the reciprocal to be about the same.)

Thanks a ton, should be enough time to finish my Sophotect who wants one!

Yes, thanks so much for your generosity. My Interventor just came in the mail and I'm so stoked to know I'll eventually have holos for her. Got the magnets glued on and everything. :D

Do post pics. I'm interested to see how you're attaching the holos. Magnets, you say?

Arrived safe and sound! Very cool stuff, thank you very much.

So any more word on how to attach these babies? Just glue, or does that not work out well?

Mine arrived as well. My thoughts on attaching are using a clear post (like from the Xwing game or a flight stand) and magnets. remember when you glue the overlay you shouldn't use CA as it will frost the film. There are several brands of Glue that wont frost it though.

For mine, I have used a small drop of CA applied with the POINT of a pin to a small (1mm or so) REM (rare earth magnet) (in terms of surface area coverage, between 1/2 to 2/3 of the magnet was covered - NO excess glue seeped out around the edge). The key here is using a very small amount of glue. Matching magnet to the hand of the hacker where possible. Makes the holo removable and lowers the chance of it just falling off during transport.

Good airflow and low humidity are essential - it's a combination of TOO much glue, humidity and still air that creates the fogging.

Plasti-zap can also work (supposed to be formulated for clear plastics use).

Got mine today, I can already tell my Sophotect (and extra Yu Jing specialists, once I get around to converting them) will be happy with one!
I'll be using clear epoxy glue for them, any recommendations against it? Shouldn't fog the acetate from what I've seen.

If you apply it with a toothpick, it shouldn't warp the acetate, either (epoxies, like ACC adhesives, are exothermic and do get hot) - a pinhead sized amount shouldn't put out enough heat. Just apply it to the "rough" (reverse) side (which is the side that the toner is fused to. Epoxies don't like smooth surfaces any more than superglues do).
