Beautiful ! You may have a future there - !
Seems like you should have the + on there, as the 37 is a completely different boat.

I welcome your opinions and criticism. You may see it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwQRSP2fYIFmR3dFbllPdXZ6aHc/view?usp=sharing It's only the starboard side (so far), but all the symbols and characters are individual components, so they can easily be re-arranged. I need to check a few dimension on the boat before I send it out for fabrication, but it was just too cold here today to bother.

If using acrylic, I would definitely recommend VHB tape. It is terrific stuff for acrylic and gelcoat.

The one on Ken's boat is aftermarket and is held on with 2 screws, one at each end. The way I imagined one being made and installed was that the original plaque would be ground flush and the new metal plate fitted over top. For attachment I felt like welded on studs (in place of screws) that went through the hull/deck was most favorable. I don't know any of the engineering hurdles. To be honest, an automotive body shop would just use 3M VHB tape. The pictures should be sufficient to create a scale model. The height is roughly 2.5 inches. I'll try to get real measurements asap so that the scale can be applied to achieve the correct finished size. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1yUklxR0VXQUd0WjA/edit Josh On Jan 4, 2016 11:24 AM, "david via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: This topic came up last year and I will put forward the same offer. I own / work at a shop that has CNC machining capability and 3D solid modeling expertise. We work with solid models every day. My engineer is also an enthusiast of 3D printing and last year bought his own printer, although I am not sure of the size of it. It is able to print to different grades and / or quality of acrylic. I would like to offer to produce a solid model at the least. The beauty of a model is you can see what it looks like prior to building anything. There are lots of manufacturing or production techniques that can be used to make these depending on the material one wants to use. From what I recall the ones with the raised letter (maybe acrylic) were also "recessed" into the cabin. I think the ones on Ken's boat are proud of the surface and maybe were never recessed or this was filled up. I believe where it left off last time was someone was going to make a sketch or more specifically a "rubbing" of the outline so we had at least the outer dimensions and scale of the logo and star.

This subject has come up at least twice since I've been a member of the list. This makes the third. Everyone is pretty convinced that Ken has the best nameplate. All of the 37+'ers seem up for a bulk order of nameplates. If you figure out a solution let us know.
