Ken McGuire Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You may already know of this site but I found it today as I wanted specific year plates for my model cars. The link I posted only shows some for Alabama, USA but I think most areas of the World are available. http://www.worldlicenceplates.com/usa/US_ALXX.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Definitely a cool link , Ken ! I was scoping out the Cali plates ; and while there were some discrepencies with years-of-issue , the rest was good enough . Now , here's my #1 favourite plate of all time : MICHIGAN 1976 !

wlhowell24 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 What program do you guys use to resize these plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 When I'm making plates, I usually just paste my saved image into a word doc. Resize as necessary and print onto semi-gloss photo paper. Took a bit of trial and error to get the sizing right, but now that I've done that, I haver a template saved. I use https://www.acme.com/licensemaker/ I find the fonts used are more accurate than some of the other plate makers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the world license plate site, before I print, I just click on reduce 25% and print. They come out just the right size. After I print, I go over the paper with clear packing tape on both sides of it. Then just cut them out with scissors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Just now, wlhowell24 said: Would you be willing to share the template? I would, but we can't upload Word docs here. I just go into Word and add like a dozen images of the same plate, all in different sizes. I print a page, and eyeball the "correct" plate. THen I make a note and save the file. Now when I make a new plate, I can just cut/paste into the file, shrink the image to match my "correct" plate. Then print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 A "normal" modern U. S., Canada, or Mexico plate is 12" w x 6" h. Using the scale in Word to make your plate 1/2" wide is pretty much on the money for 1/24 or 1/25 scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
