Re: Ekco A22 in walnut brown/bronze c.1945
I now turned my attention to making a reproduction back cover for the set. Using measurements taken from the case and appropriate images of original A22 backs, I arrived at a full sized paper template for marking out some 3/16" mdf board. This was drilled and smoothed until I was happy with the finish and then given a coat of matt acrylic black paint. I made up some graphics again from images of original A22 backs, carefully cut them out, and glued them on in the correct places. The entire back was then given a couple of coats of clear satin acrylic lacquer. This sealed the graphics and gave the back a similar finish to an original A22 cover.
