Very nice pen indeed Ronald,l love your kit choice you said you only painted the tube did you also color the glue if not it has come out sweet!just looking at the photo l cant see any glue marks or bubbles great work mate! l also cast mine in clear resin then paint blank and tube.[]
No I did'nt color the glue,but I did paint the inside of the blank as well as the tube.I used epoxy to glue in the tube.And I applied the epoxy with a brush to get good even coverage.Ronald.
