indeed, i wanted to use a serrated blade in order to get a better texture on the surface, the knife in question is a steak knife :D Rather unorthodox!

I may create a blog for things like this, as i plan to do lots more :p

why thank you Mikeland :p feel free to use it for whatever you want, i was surprised of how easy it was to get good results whilst making it, literally all i did was, was cut out the shape and paint the areas i wanted to represent rock in bolt gun metal, once that was done i painted the rest in scorched brown and then covered it in PVA, after that flock it and hey presto! :mrgreen: very very happy with it, the foam only cost like £1 aswell :p
