This took about 30 hours and had to do some of the enamel three times to get it right. :shock:

That's exceptional work Mike, especially the last badge which looked more like a resurrection.
Ever thought about expanding into the 356 enamel badge world? :)

Very similar but half the size, you'll just need a bigger magnifying glass!

Expanding my knowledge. This is the first time I have had a 356 badge in my hands.

Isn't it just the cutest wee thing you ever saw. Baby badge.
