I'm thinking the painted versions will be alsa or alumaluster with a trans star urethane under coat. Followed by a black oil wash.

I am familiar with the Alsa line. I used to have a ChromedFX system.

Now that is a tall box for the piece. Great insight. I would have made it laying down. What is the material you used? Fiberboard?

Looking very nice all around. I have always been interested in these emblems and considered sculpting them. Nice to see them expertly detailed out so quickly.

I just noticed you put them in a can. How much pressure do you use.
