    Default A Touch Of Color

    i have been playing with some color, metallic model paint, i have only done a couple of blue so far but there is green and they call it red, i call it pink, still to come when i get some more resin and MEKP, do you believe i can't buy any MEKP in Sale, everywhere has run out, and i am on holidays, they should have known better

    the one on the left is just paint straight on top of the Aluminum
    the one on the right has been paint black, rubbed off and then paint blue over the top



    and the other side


    not sure which i prefer, probably room for both though
    let me know what you think

    thanks for looking
    all C&C welcome

    I like them booth. If I had to pick one it would be the darker one but that's just my preference, I would be happy to own either of them.
    Well done

    thanks mate, they both should be a bit on the brighter side, its a bit overcast here today so the sun hasn't enhanced the color

    thanks Ian, i am glad you like the color, still a couple to come, SWMBO should get some MEKP in today so i will be able to cast some more blanks this afternoon hopefully

    i have molds at the minute for Siera, cigar, baron, slims and Jnrs, i need to get one for Bolt Action i reckon a bolt action pen with a Mecha insert would be AWESOME!!!!

    as to designs, i am sure you have seen everything that i have made so far

    Have turned one of each of the ones I got. As soon as I can get this old comp to accept the pics will post pics.
    I agree that they would look awesome on bolt action pens.
    Let me know how you go on that one. Would be more than interested in getting some.
    Cookie.

    P>S I prefer the darker one.

    thanks Cookie, can't wait to see how they came up when turned, sounds stupid but they look so much different when turned and polished

    i did some testing today and i think i should be able to cast a bolt action tube in a cigar mold, i have a tube ready to go so cross your fingers for tomorrow mate
