So in my spare time today!!!!

Yet again I found a different never made "by me" viper trinket to make in my spare time.

These are made of brass and about 2 inches long by 1 inch wide and as thin as a dime.Approx .05 thick.

This fangs logo is about .5 (half inch) tall.I really can't go much smaller with out losing the definition of the figure.I am using a .02 ball end mill and only etching about .005 deep.If I try to etch deeper the lines run together and then lose the effect of the fangs logo.

This item polished very easy.:)Another reason I used brass instead of Stainless Steel.

And have yet to paint any with different colors.Am debating to perhaps leave them polished and not paint them.Will know more as I test one with the paint.To see how it turns out.

So this is a Viper key chain fob.With out the ring or chain.(duh):lmao:

The pics are crummy I know.But I was having a heck of a time with my digital camera getting the best shot.It is small and some what difficult to capture the effect.But I think you get the idea.

Oh yea,and yet another give away item for Niagara Invades Viper........Did I type that correctly?.......:D

I'm a viper addict.And perhaps I need the 12 steps to get off this addiction.Otherwise I will never stop.:omg:
Thanks for the kudos.
So did you book your reservation to Niagara yet?

I just might try that.As long as you don't have a long name and addy.It should be fine.Otherwise I may have to abbreviate to fit it all in.The working area is 1" X 1.5"So it is small.



So I painted one.And here is the result.The fangs logo looks good.But the words kind of blended together.That is the problem of it being so tiny.The paint fills in every thing and the definition is some what lost.These pics really don't do it justice.They look better in person.

Painted these key chain fobs.I decided not to paint the letters in the majority of them.Just doesn't seem to be pronounced enough.So I went with just the logo painted.That turned out good.
I suppose I am going to have to make Sneaky Pete style also.That way every thing is covered.
And maybe paint a few YELLOW(ugh)who in there right mind....Oh never mind..:rolaugh::lmao:

The reflection from the window and flash from camera really high lights the polish.Making it look rough.But in person they look good.I just can't seem to capture the best shot on these things for some reason.:dunno:

Have to find more material tomorrow to make the sneaky Pete key chain fobs.Have to make sure we get it all even.So there is no whining specially from those Canadian viper owners!!!!!!:lmao::can1:

I just ran out of yellow( can I say that word here?)paint so no yellow Pete key chain fobs....LOL>.....:smirk:

But I know the other colors will really stand out.That new color Violet looks out standing.In case you guys haven't noticed.....:dunno:
