    Default My attempt at casting

    After messing around with resin this is the result. 1st pen is a slimline. 2nd.is also a slimline with ss braiding. 3rd pen is a cigar also with ss braiding. The 4th pen is 303 british bullet made with a slimeline kit and a bought acrylic blank..

    Great first attempt. My first attempt cracked whilst turning. Look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

    I reckon they look great too

    Just curious about the cartridge one, I thought the .303 British was a rimmed cartridge with a greater taper on it?

    Love the SS braiding

    I thought the kit used in the cartridge pen was European?

    Well done mate

    Well done the cartridge looks more like a 308 the 303 is a rimmed tapered cartridge. Still looks nice

    Hi bedford and seer you are right about the cartridge it is not a 303. It is a 222 sportsman i think i picked up the wrong pen. Sorry about that.

    Nice work on the Acrylic ,I rarely do solid colors ,mostly clear cast, These stainless are not an easy thing to do ,so many things to be careful about ,I don't use any CA on mine and keep the heat out of them when trimming ,that avoids delamination or the whitish bits at the ends ,I havn't tried a slimline though hehe cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!
