Rick posted a mini-review last fall on the differences of the CSUSA versus the Berea Elegant Beauties. Click here for the review.
A couple of weeks ago, there was another post (click here) that noted the differences in the Elegant Beauty and who sold which kit.
CS calls theirs the Aero but other vendors and companies call theirs "Elegant Beauty" also. There is a difference in size and tubes.
Last fall, after making the first two pens in the "30 Pieces of Silver" design (click here) I started making my "30 Pieces of Silver" pen in both different pen sizes. Because of work and the extra care needed (by me) for CA finishes in cool/cold weather, I gave up and waited until this past week to do the finish.
There is one difference in these versus the original, - rather than random dots signifying a certain event, I did put them in order at the suggestion of LOML and also by Skye in a previous post.
Below are the two pens compared. The picts are not quite as good light wise as the past ones. I am building a light system and haven't finished yet. One of the pens shows a bad reflection as a result of the tent and current lighting.
