With the help of David (Jimjam66) :thumbs: he created the blanks for me.
I have tried to infill part of the blank using Brass Powder and CA and with a bit of Red Polyester in the middle.

Still needs some more work to get it right but I think I ain't a million miles from it and I have a few more ideas bubbling away in the grey matter..:duh:
Here's some photos of the process....
