While playing with the water slide decals I put one onto a brass tube that hadn't been polished or had anything done to it. A friend who was in the Royal Engineers asked me if I could do a belt buckle badge for him and so just had a play. Typically its the best water slide one I've done and the picture is rubbish and the tube needs polishing.

I need to find a good picture of a RE belt buckle, anyone got one?

Bloody Hell Paul I absolutelely love that. My son has just come out of the Army after serving for 22 years in the Royal Engineers.

I would be very much interested in making him and some of his Ex Sapper mates some of these as gifts.

This might be a good start for my Casting Learning Curve.

I will ask him about the belt buckle I know he has kept his so I can take some photos of it . I can also take some photos of the Cap Badge.

If you don't mind could you keep me informed on how you progress with this one.

:thumbs:Vic:thumbs:

I don,'t really know Les but I don't think its a problem and I've already shown a few senior military people that haven't said anything.

I just put them through the printer Don. Unfortunately you have to do a whole sheet at a time so if you cock it up you've wrecked a whole sheet
