Paul,

Looks really good, can we have a photo of the top if you haven't wrapped it to see how you have incorporated what looks like a fancy pen clip into the top of the case.

Its just the top off a slimline kit Neil. I did have to grind a bit off the top of the casing to allow for the clip though.

Love it - great result. What do you use to stop the brass tarnishing?

I bought some lacquer of which I don't know the name off the top of my head. I'll post it when I got back up the shed... hopefully tomorrow to play with my toys.
