Hi Gordon, wow thats really impressive!!! My old patchers don't look quite that good...... I find painting the gold lettering on the no 6 hand wheel quite difficult as often the raised bits are worn, what would be your advise?

Regards Steve

hi Steve..thanks! for the compliment..[good for the ego and all that]..

the double star was going to done via my vinyl cutter [design on a PC]..but it was taking too long ,so resorted to protractor ,ruler and frisket film.the first silver star[sectioned mask] was applied and a airbrush held at the wheel centre and wheel turned slowly whilst applying the copper wash.

the gold star -a full mask overlay and this is where it got messy..too much paint lift.[and real shonky alignment on my part]

I will post the HM6 detail with an explanation about the worn lettering.
