Hi Rick. Good to see you back on the forum, and thank you for the clarification. As I said before I've never seen a data plate like that one before on any carriers, which explains my initial hesitation.

I have art/design work done for the earlier cast iron type of data plate for 3D printing, but not for that type. Can I suggest that the best and most cost effective option would be to make a mould from Rick's data plate using an RTV silicone rubber and then casting a copy in resin. It wouldn't be difficult to modify it to the correct numbers for Dale's hull.

Once you've got the mould you can produce as many as you want in resin.... Or if you wanted to go from there, you could use a resin one as a master for a metal casting, it all depends on how deep your pockets are....
