HomeMade Tank Badges.

Alternative badge methodology.

Prometheus sez:-

I would have taken those magnetic "alphabet letters" sticking to the refrigerator, pressed them into a clay mold, and then filled the mold with fiberglass resin.

Hi Pro,
you seem to have missed TC's motivation in machining the badges from aluminum:-

" My old badges were very worn from my extra long legs hitting against them on the tank. "

My proposed alternative stayed with the aluminum material while your excellent thought would have built a superb badge that alas, would have worn away just like the stockers.

Here's another thought for TC:-
take a patch of aluminum diamond plate and cut the lettering through it like a paint stencil. "GODZILLA" will show through in the tank paint colour and the badges will match the luggage.

Nope, I understand T.C.'s motivation and how he does things.
My technique reflects not only my lack of machinery, but my lack of ability, as well.
