I cast a couple of blanks last night which I made extra chunky. Reason being I could have another go at a Jr Gentleman's fountain pen and have plenty of resin to drill out those big tube holes.

Here's the result. I have to admit the photo's don't do the blank any justice but then I am a terrible photographer as we all know :ciggrin:

I liked the blank so much I wrapped a Zeta in it.

Royal colour Steve. When you come to the background if you curve a sheet of 11 by 14 copy paper the background will improve out of sight. A light from the left and right facing across will lesson the strong shadows and a neutral rest for the pen will allow the obvious beauty of your pens with a strip kikker light above. Photographed from an above angle lets you see the shape more clearly rather than so high above. If you look at Les in Canadas pics they are taken another way,one fluro ceiling above and they are great.

Pens are worth experimenting using light,again Royal colour and two beaut pens mate.

Peter.
