Made my first head badge. Made from tin and etched with acid. Probably use a lighter metal like aluminum or copper next time. The etching wasn't as deep as I'd like it to be. Took a little trial and error but once you get it it turns out great.

Here are some photos of the acid etched badge.

Heat transferred to tin, should have used aluminum.

Etching in acid mixture:

After some trimming, painting and light sanding.
