A buddy of mine who’s dad served and flew missions on a B17 during WWII asked me to recreate this piece in acrylic. Pretty much 90% is Acrylic and the intricate pieces are vinyl stickers. Wish I could have done it all in acrylic but that would have been another task on its own.
Yeah I told him I can do the piece but no way I could do the smaller detailed pieces in acrylic. It took me forever to get the eagle in the software correctly for vinyl printing.
Such amazing work! And I think you made the right choice going with vinyl for the details. I did something similar and finally got tired of fighting the tiny pieces it and put it down. If I was to do it again, I’d go vinyl or engrave and paint the small details.
I thought about scoring and painting but wasn’t sure on how to go about it until just recently but by that time the project had already moved onto the vinyl stage.
