Paul - they're great results but I think you may have missed the point - it's supposed to take years to get to this standard of results in casting and stabilising and you're supposed to have a shed full of disasters first !! :funny::funny:

Great imagination and patient detail - well done :thumbs::thumbs:

Very well done Paul the blanks look great. I would like to have seen them photographed individually and on a plain white background so that they can be seen in more detail :thumbs:

I agree with you totally Vic! I usually do photograph them individually & a lot better than this, but we are just so busy at the moment I thought I would just throw a few all in one photo just to get them out there!

I should say they where a pain in the arse & don't try it LOL
But in truth they where pretty easy with no tear out! but I did stabilise the beans first & went very gently with the turning.

They can be a chore

But light cuts and a steady hand and you'll have no problem

Always a good seller if you get the finish right, try some coloured ones next time
