Custom gauge dials * finished with pictures

[Steampunk]

You did a good job on this, and it's something I would like to have a go at but..... white gauge needles on a white background?

im thinking a can of this might do the trick

Those look fantastic PSquire! You need to show us a pic of them all lit up at night

I'm looking to do the same soon, the only issue is I need to get a spare metric NA speedo gauge face to scan.

thanks mate yeah ill see if i can get a decent picture tonight

as for the na dial its probably easiest to jsut do what i did i.e. give up looking for one and just rip your own dash apart lol

cheers

the top left and right corners look a little dark in the picture but its not that noticeable to the eye ... might just be one of those goofy low light picture things

mean while thanks for all the compliments and that if i find enough energy ill try and put together a tutorial or what have you outlining the method i used as its a bit different to the original

cheers have a good weekend all
