Andy thank you for the info, I thought they were too good to be hand painted, even with a steady hand and no beer the night before I think you would struggle to get them anywhere near as good. I was thinking of trying to cut a sheet of paper and use a paint loaded sponge and dab the paint on through the stencil, I know in some of the factories they used wooden carved letter/symbol blocks with paint on them and rolled the proj across them.
Once again cracking job
