    Talking A bit of Glitz

    I had a request for a bit of glitz in a pen for a lady at the markets, she wanted a cigar so while waiting for a kit to turn up from david I did this in a Highline Euro ,did 2 quick photos ,one in the sun and one in the shade for more detail. this really sparkles hehe, cheers ~ John

    I agree with Pariss well done John I know it is not a cigar but she would be mad not to be impressed with that. If she wanted the pen for herself the Cigar would end up a very heavy pen but that pen you have just done looks like it will serve the purpose perfectly

    Cheers Ian

    The kits are available from David at Timberbits its a highline Euro ,he has them in cigars as well, the diamond facets are part of the kit
    The gold of the body is actually a sort of gold plastic weave, simply cast on the tubes and turned and polished as normal . I cast a few tubes to try the new molds that Tony machined up for me in his NC router cheers ~ John

    Do some in Knight kits, you would sell heaps, few women can resist a knight in shining armour.

    Beautiful John. You are getting up into the Chanel class now and won't have any problems selling them. A nice black acrylic with gold rings with a symbol on the cap (snowflake is taken) and Mont Blanc can move over.
