I got some parts from a doll carriage museum, to see if i could replicate them. Today i tried to copy a hubcap and another ornament. The hubcap seems to be ok, the other part is harder. I think i should make a stamp for my press, advice is very welcome!
I made a mini stump out of Delrin on the mill.

I hammered the shape. Would have wanted to press it to have fewer marks, but i didn't have anything that would fit.

Looks good enough so i know i can make one. Diameter is 4cm.

This shape is harder. I tried shaping the lines by hamering on the backside with a 4mm rod. I think i need to make a tool so i can press the entire shape at once.
