Blue Angels Colors - Swirl

[brnhornt]

Hi gang,

I've been looking around on the net for some acrylic blanks, and I just can't find what I'm looking for. I'd like to make a few slimline pens in Blue Angels colors. In my minds eye, the blue and gold are swiled together...with some kind of metallic powder/flake in it to give it some shimmer. The ratio of would be something like two blue to one gold....in the sense that their planes are majority blue, with gold accents.

I've kicked around the idea of trying to cast myself, but seeing as how I need about 20-30 blanks...it's just not cost effective for me to get into it just yet. So...anyone out there know of what I'm looking for? Or....someone here willing to give it a shot for me at a set price?

Thanks for any help!
Kevin

Just my opinion, but if it is "The Blue Angles" I think it should be very precise, not swirl. like a Striptease blank that is blue angle blue with yellow stripes.

I agree, more blue and just a strip of gold/yellow.
