I'm not much of one for showing off my stuff usually, as I often only see where I could have done better! But it fit the context of another post I made yesterday to upload a couple, If you really want to look they're here:Other Thread

I felt it turned quite easy just by (once close to the finished shape) keeping all cuts very light and very sharp, then a quick polish with EEE Ultrashine and a final coat of Microcrystalline wax for the acrylic. I thought they worked out OK. :)

One thing I'd add tho was the purple acrylic was a pricier and newer type of material than the red "crushed velvet" and was a LOT more pleasant and forgiving.
