Hybrid Cigar with Silver Cat

[Kaspar]

Hybrid kit and silver cat blank from Exotics.





Two views of this one. For a customer. It'll be a graduation present for a grandson, I believe.

I had this one done a month ago, except I made one little mistake. The silver "spots" are actually pretty translucent, so the tubes shone through a bit at the ends where it got thin.

Had to do it again, and this time I painted the tubes light blue, then dusted them with silver so the blue still cut through a bit to get them to blend in right. I think it worked well. Got the tolerances with the kit tighter too.

Thanks all! Interesting thing about that material: it makes the Black Ti look ... warm (toned) almost. Very interesting.
