A small patch of cactus

[OKLAHOMAN]

This monday I saw that I was in need for some cactus for the coming season so I poured 16 blanks:
On Tuesday I caught the cold from hell but was able to cut and #Then I reverse painted the tubes and glued and milled them. The cold kept me out of the shop untill now.As always all comments welcome

[snyiper]

Great Looking Roy what type of paint do you find works well?

 

[crabcreekind]

cool pens. and now i know how you make them a certain color

 

[cnirenberg]

Roy,
Wow. Those came out fantastic.

 

[G1Pens]

That is really neat. I like the way they turn out.

It's amazing, every time I see a pen on her it provokes me to try new things.

 

[Paul in OKC]

Top notch, as always!

Dang Roy, this the same cold you had 2 or 3 weeks ago, or you and Dianne trading it back and forth again? Either way, I recommend my standard remedy of 3 fingers of single malt, applied internally until either the cold goes away, or you decide you really don't care

Nice blanks, I got one of those I need to work up too

 

[Rangertrek]

Roy, you have been busy in deed. Nice looking blanks. Wish I had more tome to do some casting. Also need to finish that gator jaw bone I have.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

James, this has been the cold from hell Diane and I are just swapping it back and forth. Tonight the "Old Weller 107" will get it's work out

 

[philb]

Really like those as group!

You cast these in PR or Alumilite? Look good either way!! Gives a fuller 3D effect by clear cast and painting, rather than coloured resin.

stunning work.

 

[PenMan1]

Nice looking Prickly Pear, Roy!

I'm sorry you caught a cold. Our temperatures here are warm, now. You don't even need a jacket now, except maybe a life jacket! We had bunches of rain, it's hard to cast PR in the rain, so my sinus and lungs are paying the price for casting indoors.

Roy, What kind of paint do you find that works best? And do you paint both the blank and the tube?

I Paint both tube and reverse paint the blank, using Testors.
