    No mate, not seen that.

    I don't mind people asking for help, and when I've not been told under a 'FYEO' condition, I'll give people a few pointers and advice.

    Trouble is that most times people help me with info on a confidential basis, so I'm obliged to keep quiet. Some might seen this as me being secretive or unhelpful, others hopefully see it as me keeping my word.

    When people copy my work I take it as a compliment, especially when there's recognition.

    But when this lying, deceptive and down right theiving git acts all nice, gets the info and then runs with it, it really pisses me off. And then he made it worse by slating my efforts (which he claimed to be inaccurate, but still copied them) in order to steer people his way, even though I wasn't doing a run of that particular prop.

    Anyway, rant over.

    Are you trying to fill the text with gold so that it runs flush with the surface?

    Oh man! I just ebay-searched the OHMSS ring. That--sux. The "new user" has a -1 eBay rating, so there's that.

    And I'm surprised their is only one git! I would think there are number of them in this world...

    Beautiful work! Love the attention to detail!! Are the dragons metal-etched or are those 3D printed, like the original chips? Whatever method you're using, they look amazing!

    Kind regards,
    Craig

    The dragons are etched in brass, there's over 400 scales on that dragon! how do I know? Because it took me 3 hours to place each and every one in the artwork... :s

    Yeah the originals were 3D printed, but the fact that you had to ask makes me feel etching the dragons instead was a good call.

    More soon -{
