Hi All,
Here is a project I did last week.

On the 1st April The RAF will be 100 years old and I started to have a search and came across the benevolent fund.
I think they have a great logo so I tried to replicate it with Polymer clay.

As you will see I didn't do a great job. LOL I will do more in the future and will donate them to the local branch, if they will have them. :-))

The Redwood turns very well.

Getting round and about brings its challenges Paul. Model one over to set the standard to come. Noble project mate. A mate of mine was a Lancaster rear gunner during WW2 and was seconded to the RAF during this time.Extraordinary bravery and skill is well worth remembering and your support.

Peter.

Nice one Paul - I like how you've combined all three materials into the one item.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I have just mixed up some resin in the Help for Heroes colours. I think it was Greg Hardy that showed a pen with ribbon colours.
That is a great idea and I will do something similar with these colours.

All the best,
Paul

I wish I had known about polymer clay when I undertook my project. You may recall that I foolishly spent hours stacking colored index stock (paper) with brushed resin. I nearly did myself in - small room, lots of fumes, and little common sense that day. That project raised a lot of money for a very worthy cause (like the one you are supporting) and the satisfaction for having done so was really a source of joy. I look forward to seeing where you go with this project!

Hi Greg,
It was an amazing project you did.

Polymer clay would be great to use but for this first attempt I have just coloured some Alumilite resin. (no fumes)

All the best,
Paul

Very frustrating mate. Good luck with the future bookings.
