A little bit of free time

[MIKL]

well i am not sure about everyone else but i thought things were meant to be hectic before Xmas, i haven't stopped and unfortunately its not been in the shed making bits.

i cast these 2 about 4 weeks ago, might be longer

A couple more Mecha blanks

the first one surprised me the center part shows RED/GOLD, should be Red paint and Aluminum, some sort of reaction between the paint and resin i am guessing, needless to say i am going to have to try again and see if it happen again


the second is aluminum, black paint rub section and red wire


sorry about the finger prints, i didn't notice them until now

C&C welcome

Great to see you back, Michael Missed you.
The Red cum Gold, is very interesting,
I take it was just Red Model paint?
Did you subject it to any Heat?
Regardless of what ever caused it I like the result.
Love the Black Paint Rub, but the Jury is out on this Red Wire.
I liked your previous posting with the Red Wire, but I can't put my finger on this one.
As usual Great Fit and Finish,
Regards,
Brian.

hiya Brian

the red paint is just a rattle can, the only heat involved would be the Resin setting which can sometimes get fairly warm, i did make 2 blanks on the same day and the aluminum changed color in both cases, it will be interesting to try it again and see what happens

i think the last Red wire pen i made had a aged aluminum look, this has the aluminum in its shiny natural state, i left it because of the shiny aluminum under the black paint, everyone likes different things and i am sure/hope this wont last very long like the rest (fingers crossed)

Nice work Mik. It does seem like this year as been more busy than in the past here too. I have not been able to be in my shop much either. Both of these pens look great..

Totally cool pens! The red is really striking on both pens, awesome combination of materials and the finish is stunning. Excellent job!
