Nice job! Is the whole thing lacquered? Looks pretty accurate.

Whoa, excellent job James! I am quite impressed. I agree the first one is closer, but the second one looks fine. Is it an original 1940s Zippo?

Peace,
Cliff

Here are two places. I have the second one listed (which is Zippo's version). Others have said that it is prone to chipping, but I've had mine for about a year and not one scratch on it.

I have one I ordered from Indiana Magnoli, who originally approached the Studio to get Zippo to produce these for us. The second location listed above is the company who first carried them. I've had mine for several years now, and except for expected pocket carry wear, it's still a good looking lighter! Regards. Michaelson

Yes, the whole front is epoxied over the paint, big thanks to buletman for the help! Im glad the epoxy came out smooth, also it really smoothed out the white paint which looked a bit rough when I was done painting.

I thought it was an Indiana Jones lighter.

Is it a FAll Guy lighter becuase it is completely unreasonable and you can never really lose it?

Check out Ebay i got mine for $26.00. Do a history search and you'll find another vendor who sells them as well.

Not a problem...#### your clover looks PERFECT...good job...

How did you get epoxy on smooth? how many minutes for drying? i used 5 minute...and i think that is why mine dried with grooves

(it was all i could find lol)

Thank you! Yes I beleive that was your vice, I used Devcon epoxy that had a 30 minute working time, and just let it dry overnight, no oven. I simply taped off the edges, and poured the epoxy right on....!
