Schaeffer panels are very nice but the finish is completely different.
Several people have them and think thay are quite nice.  Some of the nicest
ones I have seen are on JH's site.

That is what Dave and I did for the first run of Stooge panels.  We did 127
panels and our profit was $0, nada, nothin'.  So, all we do differently
today is make our own MOTM blanks.  I am careful to use the exact  same
paint materials that Paul does.  But, I use my own painter, so the texture
varies slightly.

We price all the printing at exactly cost.  Our mark up is what we make on
the metal that goes behind them.  I would make exactly the same selling
blanks.  But, we don't do that. That's Paul's gig. :)
