One piece slimline, recovery.

[3Peake]

Well I've been making a few one piece slimlines lately,like this..

but I've had a few blowouts and ended up with a few that just wouldn't be long enough for a pen.
I played about with a light pearl purple that snagged and ended up adding a piece of darker purple with a layer of aluminium and a slice of black plastic as an accent. And ended up with the following,I'm quite proud of this save:biggrin::biggrin:, what do you think??

Good save, Martin. Like some say, 'When given lemons, make lemon aide'. That is some fine lemon aide. Congratulations on your ability to control the nearly irresistible urge to hurl the offending piece through the concrete wall.

Nice complement of colors -- looks like it was intended that way all along.
