    Good grief, Mike, even your photograph is a thing of beauty. My hat's off to you, Sir.

Unfortunately it’s just a hobby and not a job and I must have two years of work stacked up for UK badges. It’s very time consuming and labour intensive but an original restored badge is much better than one of those new shiny things imho.

    Very impressive work, Mike! Appreciate that you may not want to share your technic and enamel used? But if not, I would be very interested in learning more about your process. Thank you.

    Beautiful work. I really love and admire passionate - and high quality - work done by enthusiasts in small enterprises.

    I assume you do these on a bespoke basis but if you ever want to sell them it would be an honor for the AC Shop to do so.
