6233's nameplates. HELP !!!

Eh up all !

Ive just scored myself an ebay bargin, Hornby super detail model of the Duchess for under 50 quid !, just got a broken speedo cable which i'll fix with some painted wire. What it really needs to finish it off is a set of proper plates with the royal crests. I've googled 4mm plates to death and i'm getting no-where ! Has any body ever heard of a manufacturer who may have made em ?

Have you tried Fox transfers?

They do alot of nameplates but im not sure they do the crest as well!

Its worth a look though

Good call mate, plates are there, no mention of the crests though ! I wonder if any thing else has carried a similar crest that could be "cut n shut" ??

have a word with Mike Watts I'm sure he'll sort you .

Ah well, got try eh, got email from Mike watts and unfortunatley no current plans to include "as preserved" crests / plates in the range, back to the drawing board !

 

6220/46220 had crown crests above the nameplate 'Coronation' throughout her life - maybe he does those ?

 

not sure if anyone does a 4mm" THE CORONATION" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Coronation_headboard_on_Mallard_at_the_NRM.jpgheadboard as the crest on this is made from the same pattern used for the ones on 6233

 

Fox do indeed do them , although the ones on 6233 are slightly different , im not sure it would be noticeable in 4mm it might be worth a punt

 

I think that might be the answer chaps, cut and shut the crests off Coronation, tricky but i think its the only way, thanks again for for your help.

This gives you both the original and 2002 'Sutherland' version of the crown: http://www.precisionlabels.com/l28.html

And here's the 2004 Royal Train crown headboard: http://www.precisionlabels.com/l28b.html

Hope this helps.
