| | Harry, and a most pleasing set of pens it is sourced from all round. A mate of mine lived on the Riviera in France so I have visions of a 48 foot stretch of heaven, perhaps methinks it is a craft (please explain).
My experiences with White Corian has been the total impact it has had with the fairer sex once in their hands they rarely want to part with the pen, I also have found the sheets are thicker than others allowing without gluing a fatter pen. Try my experiment say nothing watch closely as women approach a White Corian Pen.
The grouping including fibreglass black, very neat, the circuit boards are jaw droppers in the right place as well.
Your backgrounds take away from the pens, a simple one colour can give greater impact and a larger crop. The first pic without the white shows what I mean.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards Peter.

| | Hey There,
Thanks for the Comments, much appreciated,
Hey Peter, 47ft Riviera is a fancy Boat made in Queensland, they are the boat of choice for anyone who can afford such a luxury,
I will be over in Canberra in June, I may have to have a catch up with you and Ben, and some of the Crew from the forum, I will contact you soon when we have sorted out our plans.
Hey John, I will also be at the Gold Coast early June, and might catch you as well, I have to go and see Gary at GPW and Big Stan at Billinudgel as well.
thanks again

| | Nice pens hazza  those carbon fibre blanks from David are great and even better because of the amount of work you have to do to use them (None)

| | The Corian will move quickly, as Peter noted, women seem to unable to part with it once they pick it up.
Not a fan of the stylus pens, but in todays day and age, well....they seem to sell quite well, and if thats what the customer wants, then....
Nice work all the way around, like the stylus on the circut board, adds the techno touch to the whole pen.
