@madasboot
Nice one! and once again perfect luming work.
I know that each detail matters for you,
so Iet me add that the moisture indicator is bit too dark and even color IMHO
Seems to lack the paper texture, but maybe it's due to photo...

Hi, I introduced myself in the other post, my name is Antonio and I'm Italian.
So I'll help myself with the dictionary, sorry for the mistakes.
I wanted to tell you that I also mod the various Fathoms or Tornek, I really like the work above, but as you said the moisture indicator needs to be changed.
I make them out of two-tone paper, and they come out well. I'll post some photos.
Anyway, nice work on the dial...well done!

Hi Antonio,
Welcome on board!

This thread is quite old but you can trust @madasboot for having improved his dial since.
M. is not only an artist but an incurable perfectionist
As far as I remember, he’s now using genuine moisture indicator paper.

You have to know that @madasboot is an hobbyist,
he has a very busy job and a family,
so very few time left for the hobby…

Thanks Fizzzz,
Pleased to meet you.
You see, I wanted to know how you write on the dials, I've tried everything but I'm not thrilled with mine.
So I wrote to him privately, hoping he would give me some advice. However he is an artist.
