My most recent pen Ancient Mars Elegant Beauty

[Lenny]

Here is my first attempt at turning one of Ed's blanks from Exoticblanks. (Thanks Ed!)

I'd like to say I put a great deal of thought into it but actually I just thought ... "This is such a nice blank I should use it for a sierra style so I can have two chances to get it right" and it just happened that the Elegant Beauty was the only kit I had available. =0)

Since my rookie year is winding down I guess I should open myself up for critiques.

Have at it!

Lenny the pen looks fantastic from what I can make out, your picture needs to be bigger especially if you want feedback regarding fit and finish!

This old dog learned a new trick that may help. Hit ctrl and the plus sign and the screen image grows. Soon, you can SEE it!!

NICE lookin pen, Lenny!! So, when do we get to see the second one???

Seems like a good strategy to keep the retail price "affordable" for Christmas presents!!!

I thought I was obeying the rules of picture posting =0)
tried to keep it under 19k and under 300 pixels in height

Perhaps I have misunderstood once again lol

Try this one instead ... and Thanks!

Great turning, Lenny.

The white Noveau Scepter is extraordinary!! They all appear to fit very well--so when's the show???

Having a little trouble building my inventory up ... my daughter keeps taking them into work and selling them! :tongue:

I learned something from the Noveau Scepter .... that I have to do a better job painting my blanks/tubes.

Thanks for looking at them.

Thanks!
That's what I thought after putting it together. If I had put thought into it ahead of time I probably wouldn't have gotten it right. Luckily, I guess, the law of averages was working with me this time.

Next time you order, try a piece of "wedding white". While I still recommend painting the tubes white, that white acrylic (Made in Italy) is much more dense than the Asian whites (which I used many of, before I started importing).

FWIW!
