I was asked by someone on one of the Facebook groups if I could help him to replicate this engine name plate, it is about 80mm wide.

I soon had it drawn up in Alibre and sent a STEP file off to him

I just got a photo back of the finished cast and painted plate. Which look to have turned out quite well.

Excellent result Jason, proportions of the cad model spot on.

I’ll look to add a name to the engine I’m working on .

I hope it’s possible in Atom3D.

Very good ! A tip, fettle, clean up, then polish. Then using a toothbrush warm/hot water and washing up liquid give a good scrub to remove ALL trace of polishing compound. Using aerosol cans first of high build primer or spray putty give a coat all over. Have a bit of cloth stretched tightly over the end of your finger dipped in thinners and go over all the raised areas to remove most of the paint eg letters and border. Let the paint dry for 20 or 30 mins then repeat. Don’t worry about a thin layer of paint still left. If happy so far then repeat with the colour coat as many coats as you need. A final clean with the thinners as above – job done. I do not recommend using varnish or lacquer to stop tarnishing, a periodic rub with a clean dry cloth will bring the lustre back. Noel.
