Thankyou for these super classy pin-badges Chris! Millie and I are absolutely enamoured with them.

Your talk on the design and build process was thoroughly entertaining and it was a joy to meet you afterwards.

Do you plan on getting these up for sale somewhere so we can complete the whole collection!?
