Sounds of silence *** Finished***

Any subject, any scale, just so long as it fits within the outer diameter of a CD (or DVD, or BlueRay). And some of those famous UAMF extra ninja brownie bonus points if you can match the CD/DVD with the subject of the build.

Sounds of silence *** Finished***

I'm going to see if I can fit a quart into a pint glass by mounting a glider onto the CD by displaying it in a high angle of bank turn.

I have also come up with a cunning plan for the base, that will use a bulk CD case as a plaster resin mould.

Work should start tomorrow.

I thought I would start with the base as it will require time to set.

All I have done is fill a bulk CD case with resin plaster, when set it should be the right size to place a CD on top.

After a coat of black and a printed landscape stuck on top this is how the base has turned out.

Cheers guys and girls.

I plan to mount the glider by attaching one wing tip to the base using brass wire.
