It is 55A Shore Hardness so it is a little stiffer than I would like but it is black, so I'm going for it!

Nice work Mr BarryImage Image can't wait to see what you do with that stuff. On a side note did you order all the bits for the firefly build? Are you going to post some staring pictures soon? Enjoy your work and looking forward to that one for sure

Carl,

I have a thread for the Firefly build already, unfortunately all the photos went with the PB BS! If a get a chance I'll spend some time and repopulate it. Perhaps when I get the Mato Bogies from Dave and get started on it again.
