Trophies for our event
« on: September 02, 2018, 04:01:59 PM »
27mm mauser cases and some wooden dowel plus a smidge of laser engrave.

Had a problem with the paint on 1st Axis so it's being remade.

So are you going to stick those multi-coloured wool tufts on once the paint is dry? :D

Where are you based?

I think that the trophy says Ribble Rumble, so are you in Clitheroe or Preston or somewhere nearby?

Nice one  :-*

Ex Tornado rounds?

My son gave me one that had been fired in Afghan and was made into a bottle opener by cutting a slot near the base.

There must be a year’s worth of lipstick in those. Some lass (or lad) is going to be jolly pleased takng one of those home.

It has been commented on! ;D  It was the only way I could think of making a flat surface I could engrave...

Nice work on the trophies.

Thanks!

I wanted brass cases but obviously they are worth lots as scrap if nothing else. 
These are classed as mixed metals so not worth anything so I'm doing my bit for recycling!
