A Home-Cast I'm happy with!!

[philb]

Hi,

After doing a couple of Tri-Colour casts for the Birthday Bash I thought I should probably go backwards and do the cast I should of done first!!

Pretty happy wth how this one turned out. PR with a red Mica, back painted Matt Black. Mounted on a Black & Gold Ti Sierra!

Let me know what you think? PHIL

I think that blank looks great. It looks like it has a lot of depth to it.

Looks great. What Red Mica is that? I have tons of reds and cant get that color.

The mica was one I got in a batch from eBay UK. Was just labelled as Mica Red!

Phil,
That looks great. The color and depth of the blank is top notch.

Reverse painting with the black was the thumbs-up way to go! Gave the red some depth.

Super job on the blank. I have a gallon waiting till it gets warmer to experiment with.
But what is that the pen is resting on??

I nearly always go for Black as my reverse colour, although it darkens blanks slightly it really seems to add a little more depth. Haven't tried silver yet though, think that's next one I think I'm going for.

Definately easier with warm-resin. Could try a tub of warm water to stand your resin in?
The stand is an end piece of a Maple Burr, had really tight small eyes, but was riddled with shakes and cracks!
