My first acrylics
Just for something different I thought I'd give a couple of acrylics a go. Although they tuned and finished well I didn't get the same satisfaction from them as I would from a nice piece of burl. Having said that they do look quite attractive and will probably sell well so I guess I'll be doing some more. All have been micromeshed to 12000, brasso and hut wax as a finish.
1. A black with white lines on an Australiana Elegant Beauty, both from Timberbits. This is my favorite of the three.
2. Royal blue with white and black lines on a Sedona II rollerball, once again both from timber bits.
3. Orchid with white lines from timberbits on a gunmetal polaris kit. The polaris kit is not one of my favorites but I thought the contrast between the gunmetal and orchid would look good, though the jury is still out on the end result.

Yep. The Orchid and the royal blue tubes were both painted white. The black and white tubes were painted silver / aluminium.

I saw your orchid one when you posted it and also thought it was too dark, which is why I went with the white.
