    Nicely done, but looks to me like it would have been much easier to actually cast them. My mom worked for Matthews International for a few years, before her deathe in 2004, making the masters that bronze plaques were cast from. Their stuff is shipped around the world. They used sheets of beeswax to make the masters.

    hi Bill thanks for feedback, yes your probably correct, but i have no facilities and limited space for equipment and perhaps no will for casting. Maybe one day i will have a go
    take care
