| scale brand/model emblems
Hi, working on my scale accessoires I've planned, sometimes I become some additional ideas. I would like to ask you if there is any need of scale brand and model emblems like you can see on my XJ. The emblems are made of metal, photo etched. It would be possible to make such emblems for all popular brands and sizes. Special I'm thinking at the vintage hilux/bruiser bodys where the integrated emblems will become a bad look, when the body has been painted often. This emblems would not be very expensive accessoires ... I think, when I make it for some popular models, a complete set for a body would be approxx. 10 USD. It is also possible for me to make such emblems custom-built for your projects. Now I need your statements please ... |

I would definitely take some "TOYOTA" and "HILUX" type emblems, so when you are going to show us more of the land cruiser you got there, dont hold out on us now ;)

Ahm ...about the landcruiser j4 ... the picture shows a test version of a future project from me. If the XJ body returns the money I've invested in this project, I will finish the J4 in the same way as the cherokee .... and maybe a Landrover Defender 110 (long wheelbase) will follow too.

Hi, Most work to make these emblems is to do a CAD of them first. then to make a film and transfer the motives on the metal plate ... and then to etch the plate. So first I want to make these emblems for the most popular bodys, to make them not to expensive because of the CAD-work. If I do this for a single project it would be more expensive, but I can do it If someone needs some emblems. But what is about your Chevy emblems ... are they for a popular body (sorry i don't know, because some of your popular models I've never seen here in Germany - there is a big difference between popular RC models in Europe and the US.) If the Chevy is popular I will add it to the list. Stefan |

probably the clod body, dont worry, you'l never get any of those requests from me. i would like to see some ford stuff though, maybe super duty instead of f350 and i think maybe f150 and/or ranger for the old blackfoot and f150. would custom work be cheaper if i send you a CAD of what i want?

YES, would it help if we could provide you with the CAD work? What program are you using, or what are you file import cababilities? Your bodies look amazing by the way! Josh Thiede *edit* if it is possible to provide you with the CAD work, I don't have a problem helping anyone out Last edited by Harley; 04-08-2007 at 11:24 AM. |

Hi, sometimes it's very difficult for me to find the special english words ... so CAD would not be the correct word, I vectorize the emblems with Adobe Illustrator or similar. Generally I do this myself, because my main business is Graphic-Design. But If you want to help me ... I need pictures and measurements of the emblems. So please send me a pm, If you could help me with this. I need pics (as good as possible) and measurements, best in mm (1:1 or 1:10) for: Jeep Wrangler Bronco Chevy F150 Ranger Thank you Stefan |

someone is finally providing photoetched details! Other items you might consider are interior details for scale builds. I know when I build plastic models many years ago, there were keys for ignitions, radio faceplates, CD's, etc. I'll take a Bruiser set when you have them! |
