britetomro Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 This is my 3rd posted Shell. This was a piece of scrap which was obtained from a local corian counter fabricator. Did not know what I would use the piece and due to its color the shell came to mind. It was made from 5 wedges and consists of 45 segments. The finish is just sanded to 400 grit and may go to 800. Wanted this one to have a mat finish vs the gloss finish on the last posting of the white Shell. I am pleased with the results. Thanks for looking. bobscroll, Scrappile, Smudger and 4 others 7 Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 Not too bad Ron, from the title though I thought it was going to be blue. Those shells are fun to make. Thanks for sharing it with us. DW Quote
Rob Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 Very nice. I wonder if it is translucent enough to light from the inside? I am tempted to have a go at making one soon. Rob Quote
britetomro Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Posted January 16, 2016 DW, the full scale of the blue color was lost in the photos. In response to Rob, it is translucent enough to allow a light to show through. I am presently looking for some type of light which can be placed inside yet no wires connected. If this works the results should turn out to be great. Will update if successful. Thanks for the comments. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 Ron, Might want to look into using a battery powered LED. If you had a watch battery you could hook the lED straight up to it without worry of over current problems. Just a thought DW Quote

wombatie Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 You are pleased with the result.......I would be over the moon and showing everyone that walked past my house and shouting it from the roof top. Yes I like it. You know if postage was not so expensive I would ask you to make me one in Corian, of well you never know I may win Tattslotto this week. Keep up the fantastic work. Marg Quote
Malcolm161 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Wonderful work. You should be proud of your skills. Thank you for showing it. Malcolm Quote
rdatelle Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Another great job. I think I like the gloss look though. I'm still tempted to try one but haven't had the nerve yet. Quote
