Thanks, I was hoping there might have been some stuff released back in the day which might be still available somewhere. I was hoping to pickup a badge or Pin with the ELITE logo and wings . Im planning to build a micro sized video game cab using hardwood and metal which will be ELITE themed. The badge or Pin would have been put on the sides. Its a strange one I know.
I built a micro arcade themed with Mortal Kombat which is here:

(I dont sell these anymore by the way)
I want to make the ELITE themed one out of Wood and metal a bit like a mini version of the following with ELITE side art (was hoping to use an ELITE badge if one existed) :

I have always loved ELITE so I want to make this ELITE themed micro cab as a hobby.
That's so cute!
As for a badge, have you thought about perhaps making a mould and using epoxy?
Perhaps you ment some thing like this http://wouter.bbcmicro.net/pictures/software/
Maybe you could contact an actual badge making firm, but I don't think they would be so keen on doing a low volume run
Where you could find a original badge these days is anyone's guess :S
What version of Elite do you think you would use?

Ahhh, it's like dangling a carrot in front of me. Yes those would have been great. If only they wernt so rare. Ahhh.
I dont fancy my craft skills in creating a mould which would be of any quality , I might have to find something as close as possible.
Couple of them came up on Flea- Bay about two/three years ago, went for around £100 IIRC.
If you can get the badge model in a 3D prog you should be able to get it made to any size you want, using a company like shapeways http://www.shapeways.com/
Although the bigger it is the more expensive it is, theres thread here about Kenny making some model Elite ship here http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1723

I've been tempted on several occasions to get a local company to print up a T-Shirt or two with the Elite logo, or an Elite ship or two on it...
Some progress, I found a person who has made models of both the ELITE badge and the Cobra MkIII. See links below:

http://www.ianlawrencemodels.com/elitebadge.html
I have emailed him to see if he will make the badge for me. I'll let you all know his response.

I see the Oolite boys have been on that shapeways site.
Do like the Asp model and how about a nice pair of Cobra MK3 cufflinks.

or a dog and barking yourself..........im defo barking!

I do wear it Steve, just not very often, my history with ruining T Shirts is long and painful
Ah, my mistake
I think it's Steve O B who keeps his in a hermetically sealed capsule within a temperature and humidity controlled bomb-proof vault in the Bank of England.
Probably
Think you might be right there Steve, I heard it's guarded by the New Zealand SAS (just a rumour though)
....although......when you come to think about it, it took over 20 years for FD to run a comp to win one of our T-shirts, that makes them quite rare...... I may ask Steve if he's got some space in his vault

I can neither confirm nor deny these rumours... I can however confirm that the outside of my body has never touched the inside of the T-Shirt and nor will it. I kinda have a rule about wearing items of clothing branded with either computer games or software/hardware house labels... However there is something to be said for having the bragging rights of owning such a limited edition item... if only to the five or six of us that frequent this forum...
I completely agree with keeping official merchandise (especially those produced in very limited quantities or never sold retail) in pristine condition.
While not as classic as Elite merchandise, I still have a sealed Nintendo event tour T-shirt and Beechfield "Nintendo DS Lite" branded baseball cap (not sealed, but never worn) after I saved a Nintendo event by bringing a cable they needed.

You are the Steven Seagal of nerds.
