Here's my first attempt at a perspex frame.

Still a bit of buffing work to go.

Shes looker if I ever saw one, excellent job Hrawk. It seems that you have become severely ill with mad slingshot disease, it's okay I feel your pain. (enjoyment)

That is a great design and you and Mx have taken it to another level. I really like this one. It's modern art.....and you'll be able to aim through it...

Hrawk you are raising the bar. Nice Job! That does look so cool. I would like to see it after you get your polishing compound you mentioned. The one ZDP did awhile back in Red acrylic also looked cool. How thick is that piece? I maybe able to get some scrap Corian from work, that is 1/2" thick. Think it would work?

John loved your comment, "You can aim through it"

Thanks for the great comments people!

To answer a few questions...

This piece is 22mm thick.

I purchased this piece ages ago from a sign making company. They always have truckloads of the stuff about. I think they specially ordered this piece for me as they usually have thinner stuff. It was originally the front of a subwoofer box that I went crazy and had a mirrored interior with blue neons.

It is VERY strong. It weights a little more than the one I made in bubinga of the same design.

I'm not sure 1/4 inch would be suitable for anything other than a small bb shooter or something using light bands but you can laminate it easily. Back in high school we laminated pieces of thin perspex together using eather. It was seamless and incrediably strong. I'm thinking I would like to do it again, make a frame using 2,3 or 4 different colours. Or maybe a clear front and back with a coloured centre.

Hehe, your right, put it down and you might never find it again.

Next I'm thinking of a way I can mount a battery and a blue or multi coloured led in the handle to make it glow.
