Well she did it again.
Left me home with no adult supervision and a garage full of stuff.
After I finished this thing all I could think was,
COYOTE WANTED;must have own saddle and be willing to travel!

Ok Mark,
That is totally awesome! It reminds me of a P-51 Mustang. It has a steam punk feel to it. Would you be willing to share how you created the rivets and metel edges effect? Is it actually metal or some other material? Thanks for sharing your pictures.
 
That one is really nice. I'm like the others on here, I would like to know how you pulled this one off.
 
Mark... I'm actually not happy right now. I just sat here with my mouth agape and dripped tobacco spit all over my laptop! The first thing I thought of Dulos mentioned. Steam Punk! Its written all over that pen! Awesome! Amazing! Stupendous! It's so damn UGLY and so stunning all at the same time! I don't know whether to hate it, or love it. But I LOVE it!
 
Yep, we're all gobsmacked and we GOTTA know how you did it! Is it clay or is it sheeting? I know you can make rivets from tiny screws (got them at a railroad hobby shop), but haven't tried it yet. What did you do here??
Fantastic!!
 
Acme ROCKET-ZEN,building it

Wow,good morning kids,
Thank you for the nice comments on my project pen.
The material on the tube is aluminum tape,the rivet markings are made with a hobby shop pounce wheel that is designed to make rivet marks on model aircraft I made the side vents with teardrop tubing cut at a 45 and epoxied to the side.The patina is black paint that was rubbed on with a paper towel.
Cast in clear PR and turned.
Minus cure time,the project took about 1 1/2 hours

Have Fun
Mark

Really great pen! And thanks for the explanation - I can't believe you did that so quickly!

PS. I hope you don't mind that I merged your threads, the building it will make much more sense to people with the original pictures nearby... otherwise it would get lost.
 
I really think you have opened up a brand new set of possibilities! I am guessing that people are going to take your idea and really run with it. That pen was creative so I hope you run with it as well as I personally want to see what you come up with! :biggrin:
 
Mark, at first I was awed by the cool look of this pen. The more I look at it, the more I love it - hope you do more in this style. The black paint adds to the aged and distressed look.

This is a Front Page Pen.

Wow! I am both amazed and humbled at the attention this pen has drawn.
You can only imagine the double take when I saw the picture on the front page.
I actually turned the computer off and back on, thought I did something wrong and thought
"their gonna be pi...d "
I expect the attention to go to the kitless guys or the guild guys but I have still not grasped
that alot of fellow pen makers think that one of MY pens is worth this attention.
Thank You
Mark
