Sonnich -
I wrote an article for our club magazine on doing four-stud high lettering.
Back issues are available in PDF format here:
http://www.brickish.org/bi/
You'll want Issue 3.
There are two examples. One is a 'SAXA' brand salt wagon (visible here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=667015 ) and the other is a
lorry carrying 'OXO' (a brand of beef stock cubes and gravy powder, for those
who don't know). There's also a full Latin capitals character set at the end of
the article.
Also in that photograph is a 'Weetabix' (breakfast cereals) van, with six-high
lettering, and the dark red coal wagons say 'BOLSOVER' (originally a coal mining
town, where my grandfather lived and worked) along each side.
I'm now working on smaller lettering, but there's no easy set of rules to make
just any letter work.
