My first Acrylic

[stevebuk]

i have now only turned 5 pens, and this is my first acrylic, nothing like you guys do, but i am happy with it.
comments welcome, i need to learn..

You SHOULD be happy with it, it's a nice-looking pen.

Good choice of color, pictures of white pens will never show any flaws (Not that you HAVE any, but we would be able to SEE on a dark color).

Keep practicing, every one gets better (except the ones that fly across the room).

Looks good from here, I wish my 5th pen had looked so nice.

Looks very good.

Very nice. I wonder how the white one would look on a gunmetal grey kit...

 

[Dalecamino]

Very nice pens ! You have a good hand already !

Looking good Steve, your fit and finish on both pens looks excellent, very well done!
Did you paint the tubes of the white pen?

 

[karlkuehn]

Well done Steve! Did you have any trouble turning them? No bits flying off or anything?

Many thanks guys for the kind words, Mark coming from someone like you, this is praise indeed, thank you. No i haven't painted anything at all, just one block of corian and one block of white acrylic with black lines.

Well done Steve! Did you have any trouble turning them? No bits flying off or anything?

lots of bits wraped around the mandrel and i have to keep stopping, but i loved it.
Once again guys, many thanks..
