I guess if you are not a member of the "club" you shoud "face" the hard fact that you are "handicapped" and take off the "apron". Don't just sit there "waggle" something in front of the "eagle" or the "marshall" will want his "iron" back..
The replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy lived through the operation.
Here's a photo:
The piece turned out to be a plated resin item, which had a copper plating below the chrome plating, which helped me gauge the depth of cut, by seeing the change in color, from copper to the tan-colored resin.
The chrome plating on the "A" of Lombardi popped off, but that could have happened with any of the letters containing "islands."
A dab of silver paint will probably remedy that situation. The customer wants to do their own color-filling of the letters, which is fine by me.
Close enough for studio work. :-)
