The circle frame was domed slightly upwards. with a raised rim, inside and out.
I would put two textures in the donut, The first is one I call klingon chicken. It is a great random pattern.When I applied the bitmap I also selected the raised lettering to exclude it from these areas.
The second bitmap texture was one I use a lot called splotches. This randomized things just a little more. I also applied this texture to the British flag that is on the top.
I had built the British flag as a separate relief which I now merged highest with the base relief.
The relief was not ready to be tool pathed and sent to the MultiCam.
The file was ran with a 3/8" bit at a 50% overlap as a rough pass and a 1/8" ball nose bit with an 80% overlap for the final pass. As you can see in the photo below I tucked the crown into the corner to use up the small bit of wasted material there.
Tomorrow I'll be gluing it all together and gestating in on the painting process.
