Just finished these up and am excited to show them off.
More coming in the not too distant future.

The words are printed then inlayed on transparency film.

I work with different vinyls often - using straight black vinyl may reduce the small amount of "Clouding" the clear part of the transparent film causes.

Absolutely beautiful trophies - love any that are unique.

Great work Matt.:thmbup:

Have you tried doing burn in lettering? Its a pain in the butt to get it right but when you do, it looks great.

They look awesome. The kind of trophies the TD makes a point of displaying for players beforehand, as if to say,"...and if you play well enough you get to take one of these home!"

The glow ones are wicked as hell! Splendid work! :thmbup:

The most recent ones I've been perfecting an image transfer - you can see some of my earlier attempts above for the bald eagle trophies, where you can still see a few bubbles, since I've nearly perfected bubble free image transfer - thus I can do colors (black shows up the best against most backgrounds, colors are all transparent, and I haven't figured out how to print white).

Here's the last 2 for next week's tournament, using said technique. The full size still has a few bubbles, just because it's so big and difficult to work with. But that Masters one is virtually "perfect".

Would you mind sharing which technique you are using. I've tried a couple different ones and haven't been able to get it that crisp.

In total I'm making 30 for the RCR. First 2 are the only "larger" of the bunch at about 6" the remaining are the normal 4" sized minis. Last picture is the unfinished pile (short 6 that were added to the order at last minute.

I don't know how I missed this in past years, but these are incredible! Beautifully done!

Man, those are beautiful! Where is the RCR held? Not that it matters ---I'll still be in MS till mid-April.
Never mind---I see its at Lakewood. Haven't played there in about 5 years, since before SeaTac got redone.

 

[Audible Vibration]

These are awesome. Can you PM with your pricing and info, or do you have a website I can look at? I'm running a C-tier this summer and would love these if we can afford it.

Just got off the phone with Dave Feldberg. You can keep a lookout for my trophies at *some* nadgt premier events this year, and if it goes well, potentially *all* events in years to come.
