Nice plates... how did you make them???

I believe he took a print out in that size from some photograph, and then stuck them on. Right, Zibby?

I shall try and do something similar for my hummer model.

I figured the print out, but I am interested in knowing if he mounted it on tin plates to give the metal feel... I am almost done preparing garage signs in the same way... I get the tin plates from Coke cans.

nice looker this 430 Scuderia
please tell me, what is your opinion of the quality of this series when viewed in comparison to the Hotwheels 1:43 Scale models which have recently been released into the market under license from Ferrari.
would like your take on this.
cheers

This is how I done it.
1. Scanned a 1/18 number plate to get the size and copied into publisher .
2. Googled for Dubai number plates and choose the first one I came across. ( This was just trial, will make VIP numbers later)
3. Copied into publisher and reduce the size to 1/18 number plate.
4. Then print out, I used glossy paper cause the finish was not good using standard paper.
5. Used double sided tape to stick to the car.

Found this website which makes American Plates http://www.acme.com/licensemaker/lic...98&r=566502149

I've used ACME license maker quite often... it is very good, but limited to US plates.
