Customizing a base with laser etching

repairing a CW TV Arrow statue for a guy I know and he said he doesn't mind if I customize it in any way I want
having that freedom and at work we recently picked up a laser etching machine (for those of you who don't know I work in a tshirt print shop) I thought I would give the etching machine a shot and see what I can do with it on resin.
I recreated one of the arrow heads from the background of the shows intro - forgive the pics but I haven't had a chance to prime the piece yet

I am able to do this on a piece by piece basis as well if anyone is looking to have something like this done to a kit they are working on as well

Amazing idea, I'm in contact with Jon now about a custom project I'm looking to get done with this method.

It really does, even something like your avatar pic could easily be done onto a base
