Patriotic Group

[armyturner]

Here are a few that I finished over the last couple of days. This is some more homebrew PR. The slimline has been posted previously but I wanted to show it with the group.

Next is a Jr Gent fountain pen with two tone Amboyna.

Jeremy,
NOt being a huge fan of the Patriot pen, though I've made a few, I like the swirl in that blank the best. Perhaps because theres more white in it. They all look great and if you are going to trade or sell them, I'll take a couple with even more white. Go Pistons and Red Wings!

Jeremy, your pens look great and the blanks you cast are really nice.

On the contrary, I think the lack of white is what makes it work. The black in there (which isnt a part of RW+B) acts as a bridge to bring the blank and the black parts of the kit together.

Great pens...I have some of that two toned amboyna as well, it sells quickly[8D]


As for the PR, I am also leaning towards white being at a minimum, the white takes away the intensity for my eye, so less is best...I like the black hardware on them better than the all chrome.
I enjoy seeing your work.

Skye,


There is no black in there. It just appears darker where the red and blue meet.

Huh, looks black in the pic. Regardless, I think the dark is what blends with the kit. Normaly there's a lot of white, which contrasts with the kit.

Well see, there you have it, everyone has an opinion and it doesnt settle anything. I still like the lightest blank, when can I buy some?
