Very nice I have some old ones from Oznavad.he did a sckool bus pattern I love.I did some myself u have to be carefull wit the epoxy it seems to make em too heavey an they never really caught as well as the originals.I think the added weight just slightly changed the action.Next time i do some I'm gonna just use clear paint to coat em.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

i was a bit concerned about the epoxy messing with the action. I went light with it......and didn't put any on the nose. i think the dimple above the eye has a big impact on the action.

You really have to load up the epoxy to mess up the action. A light coat will be just fine.
