It's been a very long time since I found time to post to the IAP. This is just something I put together using the CSUSA Statesman pen kit to pay respects to our amazing USMC. Licensed and legal. The upper tube is cast in Alumilite, hand embossed aluminum and hand punched (with hand made tooling) "Boiler Plate" caps. The lower tube is a simple mixture of proprietary colors, mixed and pressure cast with Alumilite as well. It's all a painstaking process but I think the visual impact is stunning. Constructive criticism is always welcomed as it helps me to improve upon things I may be missing. Thanks for looking!
