Here it is, the new Fly Fishing medallion!

Danielle, who won the naming competition chose to receive a Bronze copy of Fly Fishing as her prize, I've started work on that copy but it's not polished up just yet. I the mean-time I've also cast an Aluminium, a Copper and a split Bronze/Brass copy. The Aluminium and Split Bronze/Brass copies are all finished up and here they are:

Aluminium

Split Bronze/Brass

Here is another shot of the Aluminium copy, showing another view of one of the horses.

And here is an alternative image of the Split Bronze/Brass copy, which shows how the polished metal shines in the sunlight.

I'm happy to say I got my entry in for the RESS BAS Relief Competition, and I also managed to enter the Mare and Foal medallion too, which is wonderful as I thought I wouldn't be able to get that one in! Just have to wait for a few months now for the results, I wish it were sooner BUT for an in-depth critique from some of the best names in the hobby, I'm pretty happy to wait!

You may have noticed a lack of images of unpainted resin copies of Fly Fishing - I've been struggling a bit to get good clean casts from the mold, it seems my over-enthusiasm for detailing in the manes has caused an issue! This means I'll be holding off releasing resin copies of this model until I've slightly re-worked the clay original and smoothed it just enough to avoid some of the air-bubble issues. I'll also try to make the circular "base" a little more substantial, as it is currently very thin. In the mean-time I plan to sell a few metal finish models, so watch out on MH$P and possibly Auction Barn for any sales models.
