    Default First Acrylics - Xmas Pens

    Tried my hand at acrylics for the first time today, hoping they'll be good enough for xmas presents. I'm pretty happy with the outcome, thanks to all who contribute here for their hints and tips. Drilled slowly, backed out heaps, wet sanded to 600 and finished with micromesh, EEE and Glow.

    Merry Xmas
    Derek

    I agree with Ian on that one lol I don't do very many wood ones now unless they are requested I find the acrylics and PR's easier to sell and once u start casting u will never go back lol )
