Thanks for the closeup. Did you have to paint the cap tube? The material looks like it could be pretty transluscent, but I don't see any brass color.
 
The centerband section was pressure fit, the top bead was glued, then turned. I did not paint the tube and I am lucky it didnt show thru as it has a bit of a belly shape. I just may do that the next time.
 
Glenn I love the mods you've given my favorite kit. I'm assuming the white part of the centerband replaced the small black one that comes with the kit? I've had the black band on my daily carrier( a stars and stripes baron) wear out, or all the black come of rather...this is a great fix for that. If you don't mind I may experiment with this idea. Once again .......beautiful pen!!!
 
Thanks mick, It is not my creation to claim, but I do like the accent it gives and I hope you modify the concept so that I may hitchhike on your idea, too. You are right, it does solve some stock part problems. Just a suggestion....dont make it too tight as it will crack upon pressure fitting.
Replacing the cap finnial is more difficult as it is such a small part.
 
Nice pen Glenn! Refreshing combinations of materials. I am lucky to have of Glen's modified barons in my collection...it even has the wooden ring in the CB...I just love these pen exchanges. I'm looking forward to seeing your cration at the Rendezvous....your work is always nice.
Do a good turn daily!
Don
