Resin or Foam Flat Back Appliques

[Mark Macomber]

hey guys...
I'm looking for a source for "Flat Back" Appliques.
I am considering developement of a line of personalized "Man-Cave" and Pub Signs; since I am not a carver and do not have the ability to make resin molds, I need to be able to purchase them. I'm looking for figures such as beer mugs, roosters, aitcraft, logos, etc.
Any ideas???

I would suggest Frank Mason. Sorry I don't have his info but maybe someone else has it.

Danny Baronian is the man who can make this for you.
He just published an article about his techniques.
If I am correct he has a lot of sample atributes you could choose from.

Mark,

I make them too but from hand carved models. I have a selection of 25 different designs that I sell with my small house markers. Most are about 3" high but larger molds are no problem. Here is a shot of my collection as well as a larger school crest ......8"x11", made from 3 molds cause the crest is in 3 parts. BTW I've been mold making since '66 in a pattern and model shop.

Here is a pic of the collection and a shot of the school crest.......

Amazing, I always thought those little things were cnc'd out of wood or HDU.
Never realised they were some sort of plastic.

IS the back plate from the first picture a mould also?

Anthony,

The back plates serve two purposses. First thay display the ornaments and they also show the different colors available to choose from......double duty! They are made from pine.

They are held on with "Poster putty"......the stuff kids use to put up posters in their rooms. I use that so I can easily remove them for re-gilding or to reposition them for a verticle presentation.
