Hi John   If all else fails you could always make your own waterslide decals, it's easier than you would think.  ;)

Well I found out about this from Capt Podge, You just need some inkjet water slide decal paper and some clear sealer spray, my inkjet printer is nothing special but it dose the job, now I can only make decals for a white background as I don't have white ink in my printer, but basically you can do your own graphics or do a internet search for what you want, adjust to the size you want print it on the special paper spray with the sealer three coats, and then apply like any other waterslide decal, the one in the photo was a test piece for my latest build, applied to the lid, It may not be what John's looking for but it may be an option.

Just to say that I emailed David Leftley earlier and he's come back to me conforming that his business is now closed.
