Another Group of Slimlines

[t001xa22]

Although I have done other kits, I still use basic Slimlines to practice my different profiling. Pen 1 is Caribbean Blue acrylic, Pen 2 is Kelly Green acrylic, Pen 3 is Orange Sorbet, Pen 4 is a Dymondwood that I wanted to try out multiple segmenting, and finally Pen 5 is my first try to work with various laminations and glue-ups. This one is a combination of Cocobolo/Cherry/Bloodwood. Maybe someday I will start moving more into classier kits.

I like them all. The blue acrylic would be my favorite. Did you paint the tubes on the acrylic ones?

Thank you all for the kind words. The orange one is "Orange Sorbet" from Woodcraft. Even though I have read many entries on painting inside the blanks, I still just paint the tubes and use 2-part epoxy to set them. Occasionally, I will use substitute chrome tubes where needed.
