I finished this up almost a year ago, but never got pics. Finally got around to it (only because someone might be interested in it) and I figured I should post these in case I do sell it, might be the only chance for you guys to see it. As you may remember, I requested my Wee Da unetched, so I could do it myself to maintain water tightness. The entire inside of the light was protected during etching leaving the reflector, threads and all sealing surfaces pristine. I also managed to etch the inside bottom of the tailcap without touching the threads on it. Gloss black baked on lacquer was applied to all "low" areas for higher contrast. Sorry for the crappy pics, all I had available was my iphone which we all know doesn't do the best macros. If I do wind up keeping it I'll get some better pics.

Really good job on the etching there Chip.
Your clearly the man for the finishing job judging by your pics.
I do have one Wee Da here that has only a very very light dull etch, hardly touched the surface.
If you fancy doing another to the standard shown here shoot me an email.
