RE: [flasah] Casing Jerome
Dale,
Contrary to what GB might say, I think you're picture is great. I love the
coloring and the bear's fur sure looks realistic. I totally agree with you
about the "casing" and the tooling. I keep a spray bottle on my work table
and a bowl of water with a sponge in it and I use them both. But, whatever
you use and however you used it, you sure did a pretty picture. Thanks for
sharing it with us.
