Hi everyone,


Here continues my eternal quest to get a pen on the front page.:biggrin:

It is a diplomat 2 in HRB. Thanks Nolan, you have awesome stuff! CA finish.

Halfway through finishing, I ran out of CA. I used my backup ca, and got better results than normal! Go figure!


Thanks for viewing and thanks even more for commenting!:smile:

See post #19 for better pics.

Okay...I'll bite. What's the back-up plan?

Cause it sure seems to be working great!!!!

good looking pen! Good luck getting on the front page! I think a few of us share that aspiration! I thought maybe i got it when i made my trustone fountain but nope. It is a tough goal to achieve i think. I have a couple of pieces of HRB ( with eyes) that are waiting for a drill bit big enough. Maybe i will get lucky then!

Beautiful pen.

I'd recommend a photo with an aspect ratio closer to 1:1, or at least with the longer dimension horizontal. Your photo, while sharp and bright, is nearly 2:1 vertical.

If you'll look at the Featured Photo Archive, you'll see that's the predominant layout. The pen on the front page now is an excellent example of a perfectly "posed" pen.
 
The one on the front page right now was a total surprise....a nice surprise nonetheless though. Regarding your pic (nice looking pen BTW) I think the bulky stand is distracting and there is something about a pen standing up that feels un-natural to me. Just my 2 cents...:wink:

edit...I wrote this after your last post. On the one laying down a glimps of the clip would be nice and always extend the writing tip.

good luck on getting it on the front page, Maybe the one I am working on for the Pen makers guilld will make it after I make it and send it off. I will post it after I have the results from them, I am just starting it now
 
Ok. I want to thank Jeff for bearing with me. I now know what he was trying to say. With that, here are two more pics. These are better IMO too! Enjoy!

Sweet looking pen, haven't turned any of that material yet. I'm hoping that my bog oak burl pen will make it to the front page now when finished :rolleyes::rolleyes: one can always dream :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
I have a question and would like some input on it. I have a couple more blanks of the HRB. Do you think that it would look better of gold, one like this one, or on a chrome color?


Also, I'd like some feedback on my photos. Specifically the ones in post #19. What can be done to improve upon them?

Btw, I'd like to say that I was just kidding round when I said Attempt At front page. Just a joke.
Thanks.

Beautiful pen.

Just a note, Jeff has mentioned, to get on the front page, you must put your pen in the gallery with a proper and full description.
