This is another PSI Dragon Twist Pen kit in 24K Gold fittings and Tiger's Eye final. I have again added a alcohol dye/ink to the scales, claw, talons, and dragon. The blanks are corn cobs I had the Blue Jays remove the kernels from for me. These I also tinted with the red Alcohol dry/ink and added a blender to soften and even the color. The finish is 8 coats of thick CA in order to fill all depressions, sanded with 240 and 900 grit, than a coat of One-Step Plastic Polish. As you will notice in the front horizontal view, the blank is not level with the ring, yet on the back view, it is. I have put 5 of these pens together so far, and every one has not seated properly. If you try to straighten it, you will snap the threads off. I have used 5 different methods of inserting the center band and all have the same results. Any suggestions ?? I am not pleased with the finished results of this pen, but it is for my display and use, and would never be given away or sold. Jim S
