I will break away from the 1680's for a minute and share one I have been working on this weekend.

Base plate sanded and removed text. Waiting for decal and printer to arrive before attempting a true gilt print ;)

Back to the 1962 GMT 1675 "El Corniño" from Argentina. Changed the bracelet to a folded 7836, fitted better lugbars.

Thanks, Retina, I see You´re venturing into Bart Cordell territory:) tried that but my standard printer is not good enough for the detail - it´s still fun to print other decals for general deco, used it for pan am and comex logos on old metal boxes etc., still testing around ;)

Just giving it a try.. It helps that my past major was in design ;)

[MENTION=72466]Daywatch[/MENTION] happy with how the numbers turned out ;) had to custom make them according to the gen dial, with illustrator before transferring them to PS, same for the rail and minute markers. It's printed with a laser printer - so expect higher resolution (600dpi) when I use an ink jet :D
