Man, how cool would this be in watercolor?

THAT would be a great piece of artwork!!

Here are two of mine. IIRC, @orangefj45 also has at least one piece from her too

I have about 8 of these badges here. I drew one up in autodesk inventor with the intention of getting it 3D printed. Just got a bit hung up on the lettering.... So far it looks really good but i'm also toying with the idea of reproducing them with molds. I've made a couple of great silicon molds but i am having big issues with getting decent plastics to make it out of. Most seem to come up rather soft and flexible but it's getting there slowly.

Those emblems are very cool. And yes she is still doing paintings. The small ones are really rough ink and water color. The larger ones she does with a lot of detail.

Recieved my emblem. Turned out well but I made a mistake. I will have to cut the inside and paint it.

Looks really good.

can you mold them using pot metal?

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

have you used the abs filament in the 3D printer? I thought that formula was supposed to be a harder plastic...

 

[tatat]

It is plastc, quite solid. I used the less expensive one for a trial. I think it is strong as the oem one.

Painted

Near the oem stuff

Very nice. Looks like it was done on an SLA machine instead of my crappy FFD machine.

On the original, did you notice that the letters (and the 4) have a slight lean?

 

[tatat]

Can you exlpain the slight lean ?

 

[davegonz]

There's an ever so slight lean on the text and on the big 4. I noticed it when I finally found my metal 77 emblem.

 

[PabloCruise]

Can we print in Awesome Orange?

 

[abqcruiser]

You can paint it yourself. I did mine with a Dupli-Color Scratch Fix All in 1 pen, GM tangier orange.

 

[scrapdaddy]

That orange looks great! I'm not seeing the lean and I used my good eye.

 

[davegonz]

It's there. Look at the H in WHEEL in ABQ's orange emblem. Really small lean to the left.
