Block logos and doing 'foreigners' at home

Just got my block logo repro from Chris Stokes

Looks great and just like the pics (I've never seen a real one!)

All I've got to do is to make the Mk1 BB cab for it. (I have been allocated my next domestic task - to let out some rotten wood/splice in some new stuff in our conservatory this summer - so my saw might slip into cutting some 1/2 Marine ply during the process

. How to pretend cutting finger joints and clamping up a box like structure is part of the conservatory?)

Tell your missus you're building a jig to hold the wood for the conservatory. Tell her its extremely important otherwise the new spliced wood sections will be all wrong and wont work properly and look terrible

I got mine last week... spitting image... looks great. be sure to specify that you want the vintge size... At first he sent me the reissue size (wider mounting bolts) and the font, and plate looked too big... he fixed it with no problem....

Thanks guys!

BlueBoxer- I am sorry for the delay I am working on another batch this evening after work so I can hopefully have one out to you tomorrow or the next day. Thanks again for being patient.

Yes I do have 2 sizes I sell. If you get a badge through an ebay auction be sure to look at the title. If it says "vintage correct size" that is the smaller one. The larger badges I have are spaced like a Metro badge.

I am going to have some silver and red ones by the end of the week if anybody is interested in one of those.

OK and I have to show off some pics while I am here.
Check this stack out.

Hey Chris, no prob at all... I don't mind waiting for the good stuff.

FYI... I included a note with my order that said I needed a "vintage correct size" Black/ Gold badge. Just so you know.

Love the checkerboard amp.

Yours?

Thanks,
Jim

Hey Chris you've done nice job. Above logo has cool design. I'm interested also in custom made logos. Is every color and any typ of design possible if it fits on the logo? I don't need it right now, just to make sure.

Hmmmm I might be able to make these at my new place of work (engraving).

They have material that you can engrave the back to remove the gold and then spray paint black or any colour you want so it changes the text colour.

I don't think it would be "vintage" correct though.

They also have very thin sheeting of gold that looks very plexi in colour but you have to engrave the front so the text would be ever so slightly indented.

hmmm very interesting indeed.
