Very impressive Mini G! "Put it all on Red" Yup, you have and it looks brilliant!
Incidentally 400 dragon scales? That is dedicated attention to detail. -{
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

To be honest, I'm not 100% happy with it, but it's certainly not a bad effort. I think I'll try reducing the diameter of the outer ring but that'll take some care....

Too pretty to let slip to the previous page, at any rate -{
The cards were as tricky as the chip to make. After getting a few quotes I thought I could do the job myself for cheaper.... Next time I'll just pay I think ) Hot foiling is not my favourite past time, neither is marching all over town in search of different weight card stock and a cheap but reliable laminator... bloody cards.
Then try finding red A7 envelopes with matching cards. A firm called paperchase do them, at 40p for a card, the envelopes are more, so they were ditched for a black card instead.
You'll notice in the corners of the cards a little.... thing (I'm sure there's a technical term.) No prizes for guessing where that was ripped from. And the FD dragon logo is simply skanked off the commercially available poker chips.
The box and envelope was bought, everything else you see was made or processed in some way by my own digits. The final piece is making a seal for the envelope.
Looks the biz to me Jeff and we are lucky to have someone as talented and enthusiastic as your goodself on the forum. Cant wait to see what else you have in mind. I know you said never and already done to death and all that but a bond / minigeff attache case with all the trimmings would be a fantastic thing to own. Anyone else fancy talking Jeff into creating one ?
Again, Jeff has surpassed all of our expectations and produced a magnificent representation that meets and excels the screen used prop/ WELL done, Jeff. KUDOS!!!!!!

So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

Looks amazing mate...
Awesome quality, we can all fully appreciate the time and painstaking effort involved. The speed in which you complete these, does my head in Though. {[]
Nice one...

Lol you should spend a day with my mate in the film industry. What I do in a few weeks he'd do in a few days, sometimes hours. Those guys can really shift arse.
I remember when studying at Uni, we had a project on and the tutor comes in, tells everyone to down tools, and make an item from a film... we had 2 hours.

True humility of a champion. What you lack in speed mate, you make up in spades in passion.
Terrific item, real class. Definitely count me in for one of these if you are making a run.
MG, we all experience life's dramas. There is always some
Jeff - mine arrived today and all I can say is - wow!
It's impressive to look at, but even better to touch - the front and back can be expected to be impressive but what nails it for me is the side - it's gorgeous
Having seen and touched the real deal all I can say is this is better - you've excelled yourself Jeff
Yep got mine a while ago and it went on display straight away. I love it. Cant wait for the next creation. Maybe a nice attache case to put all the goodies in.
