Stratuvarius

[vakmere]

Stratus and circuit board on chrome with a Parker Gel refill. Nothing special however elated it did not chip out turning or split while assembling......this time..... Sensitive material this resin, does not like stress. Sometimes I have to file down the plating and ream the tube end before inserting. Too tight and ...crack.... right down the seam.

Red back ground, makes the body of the pen stand out better.

You did a good job on that one, too. I've done a few with poly resin, it is definitely not forgiving when assembling. But man does it shine.

I agree, red makes the pen really pop. And I also will sand down the fittings if I'm in doubt about the assembly.

I really like the looks of the stratus kit. Very techie looking.

Nicely done !!! . I prefer the red background.

BTW, is "Stratuvarius" intended to be a take-off on "Stradivarius" :biggrin: ?

I hope it enjoys the same longevity !!

Red is better. Awesome pen.

My wife said "Ooooo.. Reminds me of Darth Vader"

I also agree on the red. The blank and pen are a striking combination!

Red it is. Deleted the black background.

Pen looks great! Where did you find the 5/8" circuit board blank?

beautiful

gorgeous in it's simplicity. From the photo it doesn't look like there is a whole lot of resin depth left on top of the circuit board. That is a plus in my book. Almost looks like it is bare circuit board. Polished up nicely. Love it.

I have an orange circuit board blank for a cigar to try out. I'll be happy if it turns out nearly as nice as this.
