Natas78 30 Posted February 14, 2018 Had this old wall clock that I bought in Barcelona few years ago, a little diy with foam roman numbers, you know the deal.Got tired of it and was shopping around for nice dealer clocks, but to be honest they’re either rubbish, expensive or both.So I had a go in my spare time and cooked something up. First I needed a nice dial pic, straight up shot from the front center, not easy but I found a particularly nice one, edited it a bit, pumped up the res and got it printed at a local print shop. Had ordered a 30cm plywood disc on the bay for cheap, including center hole. Made the hand using the original ones and some balsa wood. And the toughest part was the lume, it took me a lot of lume powder and some slow hardening resin but it looks spot-on now! Might redo the hands at one point but pretty happy as is. Sandwich dial would also be nice ... Pics : Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
