Bigger hammer mate and a lot more tea

Have a look for a guy on here called Reno - really clever bugger making small things.

I've only done full sized and motorcycle stuff, but scaled down, the techniques should be the same. Jewelers use the same techniques on tiny stuff (admittedly more malleable material) but the same shrinking, stretching processes to get the shape and then planishing. I use MDF hammerforms a lot.

Post some pictures of what you are having trouble with and the combined 4 million years of expertise will swing into action.

I'll be quite quiet as I know nuffink.
