Some pics of my latest build
I did this up as a trial run for another project. The final build will be based on Esdee's 1:1 case which won't be ready for a few weeks yet, so I saw this as an opportunity to try out some new techniques for vintage dials and hands. The dial indices are a resin filled burnt orange. They look spectacular in person but I couldn't pick up the colour in the pics.
I was going to strip it all down after the build but I like it so much I think I'll keep it!
