Custom license plates?
I was wondering how some of you made those custom license plates?

I was thinking of finding a picture of it online and rearranging the letters...

Print it out on decal paper and put it on a thin piece of styrene.

Re: Custom license plates?
you can also simply print them into normal paper, use scotch tape over. It will work perfectly for licence plate.

WoW How usefull are you guys..

Styrene is sheets of plastic that you can buy from your hobbyshop, they are made by evergreen and cost about 1$/sheets

as for resizing, if you don't have any software to do this, here is a tutorial that might be usefull for you
