I am making laser-etched 4" by 6" wooden plaques as awards for the WWCC, but I need the images that I want laser-etched into the wood. There are thirteen different awards, which I would like to be based on or inspired by real military awards. At the moment I am tossing ideas around, but I may need someone to help me turn the ideas into images that can be laser-etched. First Place Overall.................................similar to USN Command At Sea badge Combatant of the Year.........................anchor with crossed cutlass and pistol Helmsman of the Year..........................open to suggestions, possibly ships wheel, compass, possibly the Navy Cross Meritorious Service...............................similar to the USN Meritorious Service award Captain of the Year (over 20k tons).....similar to the KM High Seas Fleet badge Captain of the Year (under 20k tons)....similar to KM Destroyer badge Convoy Captain of the Year................open to suggestions, possibly KM Blockade Runner badge Best Detailed Ship of the Year............open to suggestions, background is the Distinguished Service Order Most Reliable Ship of the Year............open to suggestions, possibly circumnavigating the globe, possibly the Navy Cross Rookie of the Year............................Chief Cap badge with WWCC instead of USN Captain's Choice Award..................similar to the USN Command Ashore badge or the Defense Meritorious Service Medal Most Feared Skipper Award.............some sort of skull and crossbones Naval Engineering Award...............open to suggestions, possibly the Diver Badge (Master) or this diver insignia I like the shape of the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Service Order, and would like to use the basic shape of these medals with different insignias in the center. Up until recently, Ben usually won most detail ship, and since he builds British ships, I think it might be appropriate to make that award a variant of the DSO.
