Hi, I had another thread up for replicated 1960,s Viscount steel badges. I have reproduced these badges from a heavy duty and lightweight poly resin. I have re produced these badges and now also the 1970,s badge if you remember these were plastic and 99% of these are broken and gone off vans. Ok these badges I have re produced twice as thick air brushed in 2 pac paint and numerous coats of 2 pac clear. You will never have to replace these badges ever. The original plastic 70,s badges were very thin and hollow, if you over tightened the screw they snapped, but worse of all was the U.V rays which made the badge hard and brittle and they just simply broke away. I not only made these badges twice the thickness but they are solid right though approx. 10/12 mm thick. I will be replicating the Franklin badge and the Wayfarer next. I have made many now for people with Silver, copper and gold bronze, or standard colours to the original. I have made quite a few custom colours to suit owners vans.
Dimensions 1960 Queens Crown badge 305mm long x 65mm high the screw holes are 175mm c/c.
1970,s badge 305 mm long x 65mm high the screw holes in it are 290mm c/c. You can also contact me on 0412876804. |

Today I picked up my Viscount badge from Rod (we live in the same area)
WOW what a talent this man is his "other" creations are also amazing, so no wonder the caravan badges he creates are better than the real thing.
One of Rod's many talents is making very special one of stone urn's for the storage of Cremation ashes, if you would like to store a precious ones ashes rather than scattering them, shoot Rod a PM, his ideas are endless.
Buy with confidence members, we are lucky to have a member like Rod to reincarnate our badge ware.
His resto on the Viscount & El Camino are also pretty amazing.

Hi Ash, Depends on the brand. Viscount used decals for the front & rear. Other members here will be able to tell you about Wayfarer & Franklin. Check your brand in our museum linkCheers |
