Interesting, looking fine. Wouldn't it be simpler to hammer it out on an anvil with a rounded chisel?

As expected, milling such thin brass sheet turned out to be quite challenging. After some trial and error — and two broken bits along the way — it’s finally starting to look acceptable. First trial left side - last trial right side

Hey Kodec,

That looks really great. What an amazing job! ... It really enhances the model's appearance.

You’re right — that would definitely be an alternative. Hammering it out on an anvil with a rounded chisel is a very traditional approach, but it would take a lot of time, consistency, and quite a bit of skill to keep everything symmetrical and repeatable. In theory, the CNC should be easier and more predictable, especially for fine, repetitive details.

I would try to laser cut it and then compare results

I’d try laser-cutting and compare the results — sounds like a great test. I don’t own a cutter yet (maybe a Christmas present ). From what I’ve read, cutting brass with a laser is also not that easy. Suggestions?

Mabe ask some company to make a sample, but if you're ok with milling result I would leave it as it is. Looks ok
