Thanks for the feedback guys but I think this project is starting to get a bit out of control. There's too many people wanting too many options, all of which are just increasing the cost.
I was discussing it with Jon and we concluded that having the nameplates as separate pieces would be too fiddly and add too much expense. Which means that the nameplates need to be part of the base like he suggests in the above post.
This was supposed to be a quick, simple project so I don't really want to spend a heap of time making three variants of the rounded nameplate version. In fact most of the nameplates I've ever seen have been on the front of the base, so I don't know why everyone is suddenly asking for it to be on the rear (while I understand the logic, aesthetically I think on the rear looks a bit back to front).
Nameplate on the side makes sense, but honestly I don't think enough people would want it to warrant offering that variant.
I'll make up one with the curved nameplate in the front arc today and see how people feel about it.
Oh yeah I can make that....
