The finish on the base plate is often called "jeweling" You'll see it on certain firearms parts, like bolts of rifles, an on the "Spirit of St. Loius" plane in in the Lindbergh movie with James Stewart playing the lead role. The mail engine cowling was jeweled. Sometimes it's called "engine turning".
Nice job.
I fact I got the idea how to make it from a program on making these american Firebrigade trucks - the inside has it all over - handmade with eye balling !
