alfa7kar Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 hello ive been a datsun owner for 10 years and a member for a bit. i was wondering how members would feel about a grill badge kinda like a jal badge but with the ratsun logo. they would be made out of bronze and could be attached to the grill. I have modeled them and they are ready to be milled into wax the casted. if you are interested let me know. thanks carlos:) Quote Link to comment

Sorry to answer for the poster lol just saying. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 pics? I would dig one...:cool: Quote Link to comment
alfa7kar Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ok its a little late but this is the first run. It may be a bit harder to add contours on the face because i will be making them up but i could give it a try. Im going to make a short vid of the cutting and then post it. As far as the cost Im thinking something like $30 with shipping I would love to sell them for 5 bucks but i got to pay the jeweler who makes the castings for his time and material and the mold. thanks carlos Quote Link to comment
alfa7kar Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 ok i finally got a video the computer that i use for milling basically died so i just got it fixed. i have two colors of bronze one is a yellowish and another that is almost like silver or nickle. i can take some photos of the material if any one wants im going to make 4 to start with so just let me know thanks carlos http://www.carlosbarraza.com/ratsun/ratsun.wmv Quote Link to comment
Hyphy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I noticed the head and wrenches dont overlap in anyway. Do you plan on throwin a contour around the shape to make it one piece or is it a square like your vid would suggest? Quote Link to comment
620mike Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 i also would also like one Quote Link to comment
alfa7kar Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 hello they do overlap its just the view in the rendering. i can do a rendering from the top view. i will shoot a shot of the finished wax for all to see. thanks carlos Quote Link to comment
oldsklminitrk Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Im down for one of these......sweet idea Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm still interested in seeing a mold of it to get a better idea... Roughly what size are they going to be? Will it be the Ratsun logo by itself, or will it be the Ratsun logo on a round badge kind of like the JAF emblems? Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 If it was like a jaf emblem I would be on it like white on rice. Quote Link to comment
