No links in any of your posts. So while you keep mentioning the punisher - no actual pictures or links to the part you want printed.
Still trying to work out how you can keep design after covering it in resin and turning the surface detail off.
When I cover it in a clear resin the detail will be inside there resin and protected. I just want the detail to be 3D but not touchable or textured. When I lathe and sand down the resin it should be close enough to the 3D design so that people can actually see it come out a little. It will be small but noticeable. It's a pen. so when someone picks it up they will be close enough to see it.
Ok to give you a much better idea of what I'm trying to do......Lets try the easier Phoenix one first then.

As far as dimensions and thicknesses:
