They look good, I personally don't have enough patience to make a finish that shiny on my homebrews.

Just wondering though, what is that you used on your handles?

sculpy, but i hear fimo is more rugged. they are both modeling clays.
i heard about it from this forum, either one is alot more useful than heat shrink.

just thought i would throw this out there. the lighting was really bad when taking these pic, so i got alot of glare from the flash. so try to use another light source beside the camera. it really mess with the clarity :x .

also i should so i am not completly done polishing them, i have only got to 250 grit paper. they really need 400-600 grit.
