jackflash Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nice job! Would also trim the tail of the second hand, the gen is much shorter. Gen: Here's mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackflash Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks. You might want to look at the minute hand too. You'll notice the lume fill area is pointed rather than squared off.
