Will be making the next ones slightly different, to make even more eye-catching! Wondering if anyone would be interested in purchases? Im located in Brissy

No lights in the table, I tried finding quality lighting on batteries but couldn't find anything suitable however powered led strip lighting could be added under the top shadow lip with power going through the leg and under carpet or a mat? Im going to work out costs during the week, and then when ones finished put one on ebay and see how it goes

So that is natural background lighting?

That is good news, if you need an exclusive Western Australian distributor, PM me

I think you're on a winner here! I'd be happy with the "Ford" script with the blue oval design - don't stop there though. Why not elaborate with keeping with the same basic blue oval design and substituting the script with other Ford "boot or bonnet" logo's. Eg the same, but with "XR-6" or "XR-8" logos from the different eras.

Or would that infringe copyright patent and **** the whole idea.

Put a price together mate, and I'll take a look before this gets killed by the powers that be.

Cheers!

It seems alot of people are keen for the Ford script so I'l keep it at that for now, I am also thinking of having a faded picture of a XY or other classic fords on transparent see through vinyl for the shelf I'll test one see how it goes. I'll finish one (will take a few more weeks) put one up on ebay starting bid would be material costs + reasonable hourly rate for labour

I think this is magic. Would have to depend on pricing due to things being a bit tight atm but if the price was right i would definetely be looking at putting my hand up. But i think the basic design you have there is really good. This might sound wierd but is that the ford blue as in the one they use in the bonnet badge for example? Could be me but looks a bit bluer if you follow. Only reason I ask is that I think that link with the same colour would look pretty darn good too

Just thinking out loud,

Will RNXR be in any sort of trouble for making and then selling these items from a copyright point of view?

Don't get me wrong, I love what you have done and know the work involved.

It looks great!
