Malcocaster

If you really want it Julien and he doesn't want to play ball you can have it sent to me and I'll forward it on to you in Belgium.

Thank you very much, your proposition is very kind.
But the seller just answered me.
He agrees to send to Belgium.
I hope to win the auction.

Now what I want to do is...... to either modify this label or make a new one that says 'Malcolm' instead of 'Marquee' with the same font etc.
Anyone any ideas ?

First, can you remove the "Marquee" label without scratching the varnish?

To make a new label, you can make it using a drawing software and then print it on either a clear decals paper or a printable slide paper.
I used to do that for scale models some years ago (for my grandson).

If the print is on the plastic, you could remove it, remove the print, use a decal on the actual headstock and fix the clean plastic over the top. I could always knock up a decal for you if you let me have the exact sizes.

Cheers all, Noel..... I might take you up on that, I don't yet know whether the writing is on a transfer or is etched into the rear of the perspex.

Right, the nameplate removes very simply with a penknife, there's only 3 pins holding it.
The lettering is a transfer on the rear of it.

If you can remove the transfer and send me the plate, I can make a reversed decal and put it on - just need to know the wording. Or, if you give me the precise dimensions, I can just send you the decal.
Cheers
