Hi, Finally got brave enough to try something with Synergy solids. The easy stuff was done in 2.5 D but the contour in the pic was done with solids. Used a .500 roughing mill to rough and then a 0.500 ball end to finish plus a bit of cleaning up with a file and emery cloth. ;-) http://imageb

When I saw the images I had a feeling it was for some style of musket-loading pistol - very cool. Nice work and glad to see Synergy is working well for you. Definitely start a blog of you work. Replica work like this, though not the historically correct method used for the originals is very cool
