Great stuff !

I'd like to see the before shot for the smiley one !

What makes you say the Sierras are better quality ? From the outside they look exactly like the TB ones to me.

Phil - its the streamlines that he got from Dan. Pretty sure that the streamlines come from the same place as the TB source.

Woody,

Those strea,lines are from the same source as TB streamlines, the comapnys called the Rizheng Stationery company, they are the largest mainland China source. They have just released the screw thread slimline that Dan has been selling. PenkitsUK use the same source for all their stuff.
