I came up with the idea to etch some 19 oz. pub glasses as a surprise for my husband's recent birthday.
Each glass bares the imperial aquila on one side and a DH/WH 40k inspired icon on the other. I hand etched the glasses with a pen-etching tool after first having to freehand create/ink the images on the surfaces. A few hand cramps later (and many, many fingerprints that I had to srub off) I was able to wrap and present them to him. He was thrilled
and suggested that I share the results here:

It was a really fun project and being my first attempt at etching I was happy with the results. I wouldn't mind doing a few more (a SM legions set would be fun!). I will be sure to post up more if I do!
