I have just finished with the painting of the regimental number ...:





Then my first first inner voice says: "Martin, that you have done it well!"

But shortly afterwards, whispers another voice: "Martin - you could do this better!"

Hmmm, let's see where this is going ...

It looks ok to me Martin. Only you can decide to listen to the voices or ignore them but if it helps when the voices say you can do it better they are usually right.

 

[Nap]

Looks good to me if anything just at ouch more highs on the numbers

As said only you can listen !..if you are like me you won't be bappy till you have relooked at it again!

The head looms on the horizon

Looking forward to the next post

The decision has been made! I'll take a second attempt ...

Today I once again made the letters. To get them a little wider, I have the solder wire with the pliers squeezed flat.

A pleasant side effect of crushing is: The tiny numbers and letters get a structure ...:
