So I have been busy tonight and I have yet more pictures.
Also a special thanks to "Downunder Kilt" for the pictures. when I initially set the pin on my kilt pin, I set it 90 degrees out of whack - then glanced across the workshop to see the picture on the screen, and managed to rotate it more appropriately while the solder was still hot.
Below: the whole show as it stands, less the buckles and a couple of items to come.

Crane design - not as happy about this one - lost alot of detail, but it does still hold that "ancient feeling"
It comes down to the surface viscosity of the white metal I'm using - budget metal - budget result.
I need some pewter I think

Crane design with a new "experimental casting process - keeps the thickness down, and thus the weight.
this one will likely go on the bride's sash.

Back of the wolf pin - this was a test for the clip attachment - another pic coming as I'm at my attachment limit.
