Well here is a teaser for you all, a member on here which I will let identify themselves if they want, contacted me. He had a new in pack mirror which you can see and was willing to lend it to me. The next day it arrived in the post and I started work on the mould.

I am quite meticulous on my mounds and it took me several hours to do even the first side set up.

I have got to say, one of the best members I have come across and we've had quite a conversation on what's app

Here’s a couple of pictures for you guys of the finished piece. Very pleased at the outcome. I have them now available if anyone needs?

These take me about 45 minutes per piece, very laborious. I hope that it’s economic as I’m asking £14.99 each, plus posty.

Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it.

Plain version in a white or black cast.

I will not get back in to chrome get for a few months yet and need some more practice with the process.

I'm also nervous as I'd add another £10 on. I feel they would be well worth the money but the outlay and time are near not worth doing it. However the pure satisfaction for provide them for other people is really what drives me, plus the highest of quality I can possibly manage. I end up discarding 50% of what I make as it doesn't quite cut it for me.
