Just when I thought I was getting a little bored this one comes along. This is a Lucitylic Pen Blank - Baby Blue. Thanks to asking around IAP (after trashing the yellow one) I could do this one once I figured out the paint. Tube and barrel painted flat blue I did a chrome trimline with my trumpet bell at the end. I can grip it without sliding off. The cool part is the 3D effect the ribbon makes when the pen is held a particular way and with the extra elevation on the lower end I can see nice detail. I did the best I could do with the photos. A cameo appearance from my Triton as a prop helped. The challenge was a good one. The CA didn't separate the paint however the CA did not hold the tube when pressing in the nib. The saving grace was that the tube will mushroom when the nib and trans are pressed in and that held it tight. The top was not a problem. A blue Monteverdi refill completed the ensemble. I have a red one on the workbench I'll do after I figure out what to use it with. This is one cool blank. Thanks Ed Brown for creating this one.
Not for sale, I'll keep this one and make another. After selling off other firsts that later I wish I kept, I learned my lesson.
