Default Buzzer cheeks

I limped my way in to my mates today as he wanted me to go through tying a buzzer or two with him (he's a newbie to tying)
I was thinking what could I use for cheeks! when I noticed a packet of veniard fritz, the plastic card at the top that is used to hang it for display has a nice glint to it and perfect for cheeks. I was really taken by the finish with a couple of coats of HAN over it.
Worth Trying.
Mike

Found that myself. I have also used the clear plastic as shell back and wings for crane fly imitations. Usefull stuff those Veniard packages.

Also got a DVD from Howell Morgan where he ties a BBQ buzzer. Uses yellow strip from a packet of BBQ Beef crisps.
