A short while back I posted asking about the new blue titanium cigar kits that are available and thought I would try some for myself. I took a break from scrolling in the shop to put a few quick ones of these together. I casted my usual chrome mylar blanks and add a bit of tint. The one on the left is no tint, the middle is seven drops of blue tint, and the one I wanted to try to darken some so I went with 20 drops of tint. Now I should have realized this but for future experiments like this and to others who want to try this, pick your kit carefully. This was probably not the right kit for this because as we all know who cast that when using transparent blanks they change somewhat when turned down to portions that are real thin such as cap area and nib area in this case. This changes the intensity of the color. It is not as noticable in the middle one because of the lite tint but the one on the right does show some. Probably use that one for my own to test the wear on this kit. I like the feel of cigar pens. Next time I will use kits that are consistent in barrel diameter throughout. Typical cigar kit and went together easily and easy to match the diam to components. Will probably make a few more with different blanks and see how they sell this winter if at all.
The segmented one was another quick blank I made from imitation casein material, blue cebloplast acrylic, and aluminum. Glued with epoxy and spun down using carbide cutter and final cutting with skew. Polished with MM. Thanks for looking and comments or questions are always welcomed.
