Managed to put some time in to the headbadge over the weekend. It still needs a bit of cleanup, I'll give it a polish with Autosol and I think a gloss lacquer this time, but I'm much happier. I've taken some pictures along the way for once in case anyone ever wants to try this.
I didn't redo the lettering, that's good I think and as I mentioned a royal pita. [I used a brush, Humbrol enamel paint and thinners, an Oyster card (or any other flexible credit card shaped thing) flexed in to a curve between my fingers to try and squeegie the excess and toothpicks for cleanup of the edges.]
This is it with the paint cleaned off. Looks pretty great like this but hey ho ...
