Good morning John. I have no idea about silicone or wax molding however your dolphins and anchor came out a treat. Lovely stuff. Cheers Grant
Agreed the dolphins are particularly good. Only need a very minimal cleanup.
A few more pics after painting and varnishing the anchors, Just have to attach the rings and do the Puddening,
best regards John.

Basic shape of the block
After a bit of a clean up,
i had some wide brass strip that i cut a 3mm wide strip from,
i then wrapped the strip around the block and cut it to size,
after soldering,
in the process of making the hooks,
a pic of what I am attempting to copy,
thanks for looking in,
best regards john.
Test fitting,
close up
side view, the blocks still need a bit more sanding yet,
best regards john
and a little bit of progress on the stand,
I love how the fish decorate the cradle. Nice touch!
Super brilliant
