Steampunk MKII
i really like the antique bronze plating on the last one but after i got it assembled i thought a Black Chrome Cigar would look even better
i reckon much better, but let me know what you think
BTW not in trouble yet, either she hasn't worked it out or she has decided that this is the rent for her corner of MY SHED!!!
just noticed some dust on the pen in the pickies, sorry i couldn't find the maids outfit
thanks for looking C&C welcome

thanks for the feedback
not hard really, i did it says it all

then just cuts some pieces and over lay them haphazardly, jury is still out on how small and intricate
then press the scribe point into the material along the high edges of each piece (i made a new scribe with a not so angled point, used it tonight and worked much better)
paint (i used black model paint)
rub it off after about 20secs, not too much though
let it dry, cast and turn
its not hard but very time consuming, took me a bit under an hour per tube, tonight and i haven't put them in resin yet, but i got 2 more cigars and 2 sieras ready to cast, maybe Friday night
i hope this helps
