Placquart part deux

The backplate all leathered up and ready to go. Below is a side view of the plaquart. A sixteen gauge maltese cross toasted in the oven, and mounted on the face of the plaquart. Not too shabby.

And above you can see the fresh laquer, reflecting the light. I wanted the lac to dry over night before I drill out those temporary pop rivets and install proper rivets. So its not "quite" finished in this picture. Doesn't look too too bad.
