Very nice Aly. I love the gloss finish. This is something that I'll do for my Zulu Wars.

All the best,

Helen

Well its been a while... lol

First off... thank you for all your kind comments.

I have just posted some new test pieces from this project up on the blog...
I am now fairly satisfied with how things are looking and will hopefully press on with more throughout the year...

Old school is always beautiful!
Looking at your blog, in what state you found them and how you "remastered" them, I like them more!  :-*
Cheers!
