Re:
Back in 2016 I rescued a cracked RC300 which I had repaired and custom painted.
The original frames came from the factory with a silver foil headbadge sticker, but I wanted something a little classier.
My search led me to a guy called Geoff Moorhouse who makes batches of custom badges from pewter and one-off badges from magnesium, so I ordered one from him and was delighted with what turned up!
Here's the Pace badge.....

Re:
So.... this got me thinking.... :facepalm:
I got in touch and asked if he was still producing badges, and if so could he make me a custom one.
His answer was yes!
The standard Stooge headbadge is mostly black with silver highlights, but I wanted to reverse it if possible, and add the word SCRAMBLER to it.
So, after sending some artwork, Geoff reversed the image, which I then printed and cut out to make sure the dimensions looked right.
After confirming all was good, he cast the badge in magnesium.... here's a pic he sent me.
It's still to be finished with black inlaid then lightly brushed.... but it's looking great even in its raw state!

Re: Re:
Yeah, I know.... too long a wait....
Get a pic of yours posted here once it arrives and you get it built, the ochre colour-way is nice.

If this is the level of detail going into the badge then this is going to be an epic build

Re:
My day off today and the postman dropped off a frame sized box earlier!
Really pleased with it. Love the colour, the paint finish is very nice and the 'Stooge' decal is underneath the lacquer which was an unexpected bonus.
Have been running a tap through the threads on all the bottle fixings and fitting ti rotor bolts instead of the supplied black steel bolts.
Taking my time though as don't want to finish it too soon after waiting so long for it to turn up!
