My first commission

 After posting some pictures on social media, I got asked if I could make a map of Lake Huron. This was a fun project to do, and was even more fiddly than Italy.



I'm pleased with it, and even more pleased with switching from a matte to a gloss clear-coat, even though it doesn't translate well in pictures.


I also learned that if you spray clearcoat in an extremely hot garage, much of it will solidify before it hits the project surface, and result in a grainy texture. Nothing a little light sanding with a paper bag couldn't fix though.
