Just a quick post to update my progress so far on the masquerade mask, I have spent about an hour on this, including some minor prep time on some gears and cogs. Most of the time was spent working out scale for the copper coloured pipes and then holding them in place while the glue dried. Next time I hope to get some of the gears onto the item.

To start off I shall post a picture of a piece that I made for my wife, it uses entirely used watched parts and some leather thong for the necklace.
