Copper plated Junior Gent

[jyreene]

This was a happy accident. I was planning in using the volcanic ash blank anyways but apparently the copper junior gent has a black finial. Wish I could say I made that part too but nope! Didn't even notice until I was assembling!

I did notice that as I was sanding two little voids opened up. I tried saving them with some ca but I still really suck at filling cracks and voids. I ended up using some black acrylic and a cotton swab.

I really like these copper kits. If only the by action came in copper!

C&C welcome.

I got a guy at work who seems to love pens like this. Very nice job.
I know personally i get caught up in making pretty swirls or the coolest woods and then you look at something like this and say man that is smooth

Thanks! I ended up taking it apart and refinishing it. In the daylight I noticed a ton of tool marks.

Nice pen Ty. Do you wet sand? Until I started wet sanding I didn't know what a nice finish was.

Mike, I do wet sand. Not everything but I did this one. The sorts time was at dusk and I thought I had enough light. Boy was I wrong. Full daylight it looked like the blank had gotten in a fight with the skew! I took it easier this time and made sure to move the light closer so I could actually see. Still not perfect but it is acceptable now.

Where did you get a copper Jr Gent? I have not seen them.

I got mine from the classifieds here. I think remember seeing them at either Arizona silhouette or CSUSA.

Ty, I like that Pen! Copper is still my favorite plating and the contrast it provides the black pen is very good. You and I will work on some save techniques when I see you in August (hopefully).

I can't wait dad! As to copper plating it is one oft favorites. I can't seem to find a lot of it but I know it's out there. Anyone else?

This is the closest I can find:
Baron Roller Ball Pen Kits - Available in 9 platings!

I know it's not the Jr Gent but it is a postable cap pen. I think it's the Tycoon which is very similar.

I'd be interested in a source of these or even pointed in the right direction to SAFELY plate in copper.
