1942 SAR plate
attached pic of the 1942 SAR makers plate that will be used to modify the 'image' of the 1941 plate.
there is a cost of labour to modify the plates or 'image'. But this is minimal. I won't go into costs just yet, as the process is not complete and we don't have a finished product yet for final costing. Just how many different makers plates are there?

We are only on the edge of what the new technology can do for us all.
Very exciting to see it being used in our hobby R

I use 3D printing at work. It helped a lot in making the patterns for the cast parts I made. You can dail in the % increase to allow for shrinkage. I would be cautious using resins for the finished product as their life span isn't always very long.

Just an update on the plastic medium, it is ABS plastic, UV stable, heat resistant to 88deg C and is also impact resistant.
Will post some pics in a couple of weeks of the plates

Why not just use it to make a blank and cast in brass as suggested? If you are going to this much trouble why not make them more authentic?
