Any body going for it. Would like to get for the archive. Then loan it to a car so it is seen. Move it around say yearly
What thoughts. Can't stop individuals of course.

Opportunist price! Very small target market!

How much to make shiny 3D printed replicas Nigel?

I would probably go down the route of casting in Aluminum and then infill. Ballpark £60-80 each depending on how many we could get together to make the order worth while. 

On this very note (and Frank's foray into clothing) do we start up an online shop/produce our own brand? Do we change the badge for instance so reads Register in stead of Club?

You thoughts on the back of the usual currency would be appreciated.

Cunning plan Nigel.

If we save all the beer cans at the next P&W bash, we could melt them down on Gary's portable furnace.

I'm sure FJ could provide some sand.

All we need is a pattern.....

Why not cast them in resin mixed with aluminium filings?

I can probably create a mould from mine and experiment. I did the same while trying to recreate the bonnet/boot badges. Results were good, the issue was clear resin clarity and then the backpainting process. 

Watch this space.

Gary, I to might have a a bit of history in this field omfg.gif

 

This is a copper resin copy of my dads dashboard plate of his car.

And this is copper and brass resin business cards that I use, it puts my work into the hands of prospective clients. 

In fact I have had people actually fighting over who will keep one of these in their office and have had to post them more (only if I secured the job you realize!)

Nigel,

I am assuming we don't know who purchased the badge...

I do have a club badge like the one that was on ebay. Let me know if you want me to send it to you for replicating with a bottle or two of Scotch?
