Thanks! These were machined from brass, copper, aluminium, and mild steel to simulate original texture. Ive done all of the lathe work myself & engraved the letterings with a table top swiss machine

Paint was lacquer & automotive clear coat, stenciling was a mix of waterslide decals & metal ink stamps.

Great skill! And much more patience than I’d ever have
