I'm sure there is a ' How To ' on the subject but you'll need to dig around for it with our new search engine should be a piece of cake!

Liking the work here including Golys.

I keep revisiting a mini project of creating a name badge for GarytheGolf.

Lots of letters, it's like a long name or signature, too many letters!!.

Is this something that can be done?. Does chortle do other letters than the standard for a Mk1?

Don't worry for the purists, I have brand new badging to fit post the respray.

This is where I am at the moment: I have changed the "A". I am using plastic primer and a bit of knifing filler to fill the gaps / joins.
