Found a couple of bits of P. E . That I tried casting a few years ago, trouble is couldn't fine 2 bits the same shade of blue, didn't even know i had saved em, anyway just to see what it turned like I done a Slimline, will turn em off and use the bits again!

Sorry Jim I didn't think much of the polyester when I did it but i was very surprised how easy it was to turn, the bits were 2 that I found in a box, I thought i had dumped em all as it was about 3 yrs ago!:nooidea:
