Apologies! What Gorbs said, basically a job well done! Sometimes I forget not everyone is fluent in Brit speak!

Another cracker!

Another great effort, this scultamold, is it like a spreadable clay type material? I've seen videos where they spread it over foam but have no idea what it is! Is it a hobby thing or a hardware store purchase? Bob

Lovely stuff, looks really nice!

Welcome along to ASM and your 2nd childhood! We are all big kids round here really. Looking forward to seeing some of your work! Bob
