Cracking Craftsmanship

It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into these pins from Duncan Shotton and despite their diminutive stature, they’ve got a lot going under in the design department. Using enamel paints and small model-making brushes and finishing each pin with a final coat of clear, semi-gloss lacquer for a more consistent and robust finish, it’s hard not to be won over by the quality on offer here. Each pin is then put together (or ‘put into orbit’) into their display case, and this is stamped on the base with a unique serial number.

With plenty of time to still get behind this corking project over on Kickstarter, for those of you with a love of the various planets in our solar system and in requirement of pins, this is one campaign that you’re going to want to throw your money at.
