Well what do you think of my dial scale?

The little Airline set I bought a month or so ago had a badly deteriorated dial glass, it wouldn't look very good if I couldn't fix it so I fired up Photoshop and got to work.

This was printed on a transparency and glued to the back of a new piece of glass.

Pic 1 is the before, pic 2 is the after.

One minor problem is the white shadowing is no longer visible, most printers won't do white so it doesn't show up, also I glued it on with clear Lacquer and it didn't come out quite right, I need to find adhesive transparencies that are also 17" long, so far no luck on that.
