Hi everyone. I'm getting together a few details for my turbo project. One of the things I did was design and make some script badges that say 'Turbo'. I had 12 made (production minimum) and I only need two for my use. So I have 10 to sell to anyone who is interested.

These badges were made out of plastic resin on a 3d prototyping machine from a hand drawn image I created in Photoshop. The plastic resin material can be plastic chromed, or primed and painted your favorite color. OR if you want a metal badge, you can use these to wax cast a mold. Sizewise, they are the same hight an width to the MK1 'Austin' badges but the letters are a little thicker to create a bold look to the word.

I can sell them for 20 GBP including shipping and proper packaging so it doesn't break on it's trip to the UK. 15 GBP ($30 US) to people in the US.

Hi,
If that had been chromed metal, you'd have had the money by now! :(

You can plastic chrome it. If these were metal and chromed, they would be in the 30 Pound range.

I'll be painting mine red so it blends in with the red paint of my car. But it'll be a few shades darker so it can be seen. I was also thinking about sticking one in the front grill kind of like the ERA badge.

I really like it, but couldnt spend £20 on it dude.

I would definately use it as a mould for a metal badge

I wouldn't be able to sell them for a whole lot less, since I am already including shipping from the US in the price.

I can get them chromed. I'll send some of them out next week as see what they look like all shiny.
