Combustion

[Brooks803]

Finished this one this afternoon. Black Ti Zen (my last one :frown with one of my home cast blanks. This blank is a modified cast of my "look at my creation" pen. This was much easier to make and looks very close. I reverse painted the blank black to really get it to pop. Finish is MM to 12000 and polished with PlastX. As always thanks for looking and for any comments made!

Here's a closeup:

Hi Johnathon,

Two things i know very little about this kit and casting blanks however I was blessed with enough judgement to know and appreciate beautiful things so I have jumped the fence and am here to say you are gifted man with excellent taste in your castings.

Heaven must be full of excitement and beauty and your work helps prepare us with your samples of beauty either way thanks for your humility and pics admire both.

Kind regards Peter.

Sorry about that Dean, I'll forward you my insurance info. I decided to buy a policy that covers keyboards, monitors, and falls from computer chairs for that very reason :wink::tongue::biggrin:

Btw: Thanks!

Nice pen. I've heard the term "reverse painting" twice now. What exactly does it mean?

 

[Drstrangefart]

That's amazing. Looks like a frozen explosion. I REALLY want a pile of those bad boys.

Nice pen. I've heard the term "reverse painting" twice now. What exactly does it mean?

When ypu get done drilling the hole out for the tubes, paint the inside of the hole. Helps with brass showing through translucent spots.

Joel,
It means painting the inside of the blank after you drill it. This hides the tube and the glue lines if it is a transparent blank when you get it turned that thin.
