Since I have been working on my photography lately I thought I would post this picture of a aluminum baron. The kit is a chrome baron from AS. Comments welcome.

Tom,
Where do you get the alum you use and with what tool do you shape it with? I would love to try alum but do not know how.

I really like it personally. I think your set up for the photo is nice and displays the pen very well. I would work on lighting though. The shadow is distracting and the camera pics up all the dust (probably from the piece of wood) on the background.

The link that Fangar posted says it all. I get my alum. rods at a metal supply company near here but you might be able to get it at a machine shop.

Very nice! Did you coat it to keep it from tarnishing?

That's really nice--- I like it! Do you have any sort of clearcoat on it? That, and how did you get that lovely satin finish on it without sanding rings all over it?

I use to put automotive lacquer on them, but it would chip easily so I put nothing on them now. For the finish I wet sanded to 4000MM.

Great job! Hope the finish stay that way.
