First pens are always a thrill !!!! . Nice work ...

Now that you've done 2 slimlines and a Cigar, I'd recommend that you do a 30 Cal Bolt Action pen kit and a Sierra Twist (or a Mesa or Gatsby or Zodiac, which are very similar). . You'll find those easier than slimlines/Cigars and perhaps more satisfying to make.

Great First Pens, Rick,
Excellent Blanks, Nicely Turned, Fitted and Finished.
Though for my preference, I would rather see less of the "Wasp Waist", and more of a "Slender Girth".
But that is just my Ideal.
I would suggest that you try to keep your "First" Pen, to be used as a Comparison to your Future Pens, over the coming Weeks, Months and Years, to Gauge the Progress you have made in our Craft.
Congratulations, I look forward to Critiquing your Future Pens,
Brian.
