andypugh Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A further thought: If you made a sand mould with a plain pattern you could impress the texture in the sand, as at that point the background is the high spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Herbert Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 How about 3D printing it in wax and then lost wax casting from that ? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobs1918 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Re the plate I have successfully replicated bronze data plates for a 1918 Dodge light repair truck . There is an old post on this. But to review it get silicone or poly ether impression material from a dentist. Make a mesh form to hold the material. Keep the original plate warm. Take impression Produce a plaster of paris cast. Send to a foundry for a sand casting to be made Dental impression material MUCH more accurate than wax. I should know I am a dentist!
