License Plates Anyone ?

I plan on putting a license plate on my Fujimi 911R. Is there a company that makes 1/24th scale license plates ?

Thanks

Small enough to fit but large enough to be legible.

24 times smaller than the real one, I guess?

Re: License Plates Anyone ?

I have had great success using photoshop. I go to acme for a blank plate or search google, copy paste or save it. do some research and find a font close to the real thing. Open the plate and type in your letters/numbers. A real plate is 6" x 12" and scaled down is 1/4" x 1/2". I have gotten detailed down to the year/month stickers and plate holder and screws. Do all your work on the big scale and the bigger the resolution the better the scaled down will look. check my older postings and if any pics work there might be some examples.
