This kit has an unusual two-piece center band. The black part that presses into the upper body is plastic. Haven't seen that before. Wonder how strong it is.
Actually, blue is my favorite color in general. But when it comes to pens, I like just about every color. I think copper swirl type blanks are my favorite color for pens. This Kirinite Copper Pearl blank is just gorgeous.
No problem Herb. Let me know if you need to see anything else. I have photos of just about every step. By the way, I did paint the tubes and color the epoxy.
