Make it a desk pen?

[Jjartwood]

Did a show this weekend and the customer who bought this pen wanted to make it a desk pen,He was quite taken with the MAD MAX look,(getting alot of that)and wanted to keep that feel,SOoooo I started with a HO scale caboose
did some cutting and painting and this is what I came up with.
When I quoted the "extra" charge, he didn't blink just said "do it"
Hope he likes it,He was excited about the concept that I e-mailed him
Any Thoughts ?
C&C welcome

Never had this happen before,Customer sent pmt. then called about an hour later and asked if he could change the pen for a fountain his wife was looking at.
Told him sure ( I see more business with this man) and told him I would return the difference in price with the pen.(wasn't much) He said "keep it for the trouble)
I love this job!!

Must be a Mad Max I haven't seen because I don't recognize it that way, but being a train fan I like what you came up with.

Like the pen it looks really good. Question did you scuff the clip and finail then did you coat them after.

Wonderful! I could look at that thing for hours! Your customer knows creative genius when he meets one.

That is wicked cool. The ideas around this place are amazing, I can see this turning into a whole series for you. Next a log truck, then a catapult and who knows what else.

Congrats on running past the next level.
