here it is, a fancy slimline kit dress in Coachwood, i had some help from my 6yr old daughter. 10 coats of CA and 2 coats of WOP took longer than I thought it would but turned out pretty good I think.

Re: First pen coming up.......

Looks great, well done. Nice bit of detail on the ends of the blanks.
Oh, and I like the little guy holding it up also.
