    Default Beware of the Croc !!

    Hi All,

    I have been waiting patiently for some time now to get my hands on some of Neils Croc Jaw bone castings. Well I eventually convinced Neil after twisting his arm half way up his back and all that other stuff to sell me a few before he was actually ready to bring them to market. Well he is going on a rather long trip and I definately wanted to get a start before he went

    After having some lengthy discussions with Neil as too how best to tackle these blanks I decided to go to work and give it my best shot. I really took my time with each and every process during the making. The first blank of four purchased is a casting done in black and gold, I am sure happy with the outcome and I hope I have done your castings proud Neil and all I can say is they look absolutely fantastic!! and the blanks were a pleasure to work with all be it that you must take your time and be very careful all the way through, but certainly worth the effort I think.
    The kit is a Roman Harvest from Timberbits which I decided would be a nice kit for a blank of this calibre.
    I have a few other Croc Jaw bone castings bought from Neil in different colours and I will post them up when I get a chance.

    Anyway enough of my ramblings and on with the photos !!

    Thanks Ian,

    I am really looking forward to finishing and posting pics of the blood red one !! it should look awesome hopefully to be honest though I reckon all the colours are going to look very smart. I think Neil picked his colours wisely!!

    Cheers

    Thanks Guys,

    These blanks are hard work and very time consuming, but certainly very well worth the effort for the finished result.

    Thanks
    Tony.
