    How does that work? Do you spray the liner and press on the fabric when it's still wet or something?

    Depends. The plastidip + cloth method I’d need to dig up some info as I used a spray-on truckbed liner, thick stuff with some texture, so didn't need it.

     

    As wook mentioned many use velcro and/or adhesive-backed foam sheets.

    Thanks.

    That's a very nice coin.  I was avoiding the 3D finish as I assumed it would bump up costs, but it is very nice.  

    The buckets are negotiable - I have options I can switch out - with the concept trooper I was just going for something not commonly seen but yet visually distinct. Yes, I'm an OTTK as well, but the difference between a ANH stunt and Hero / ROTJ / ROTK or even HWT would be lost at that scale in the final production - so it would be a repeat of the front, more or less.

     

    I wouldn't mix the two tone metal (bringing in gold) with the coloured paints (unless you meant gold-coloured paint) - you would lose the effect of the different metals and the paints might look funny - I could change the front XV to gold but I would probably do the whole coin in black metal and gold or... nickel and gold/bronze with some black accent paint.  If I got away from the EIB DLT-19 I would probably drop the Centurion laurels as well on the back.

     

    Here is an earlier version I did with the larger XV in two-tone metal (raised and recessed antique bronze with raised and recessed antique nickel and black paint).  This is inspired by the ten year FISD coin but no large TK bucket.

    This is merely my 2¢, for special occasions - go nuts. Dual plating, glitter, 3D molds, etc. What’s $2-3 more a coin every 15 years?

     

    Great designs so far! Stiff competition.
