      Looks very nice Steve. Why they don't just accept that you can't successfully make things like gun barrels and slings from resin. Much better to provide a metal barrel and instructions to make a paper? sling.

        Hi Jim, I think is cost and logistics. They will need to outsource another two more specialist in casting metal and laser cutting to make a whole package. Customers nowadays want everything handed to them on a silver platter. :smiling6:

            The bloodstains are actually my own blood, an opportunistic application when a knife blade snapped (I must have been about 16 at the time).
            I think it was made by New Hope Design (probably NOT a reference to a certain space film franchise, given it must have been the early seventies).
            Carry on please, Steve
