http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lThanks everyone for
the pointers. I looked into all of them. The eBay seller
had
some in hydrostone but they weren't to my liking. (picky picky) I'm
going to
resin cast
some. Now all I need to do is find a reasonable size ring to start. I
have a
ring
for a floor iris, the little ring that comes in stacks of CDs is
perfect.

This will be my first original creation casting. I made resin cartridges
for
a friends
western costume, made the molds off of a 45 cartridge.

Artillery vehicles, Starships, I'm in a vehicle building mood. :)
