This Acrylic blank is one of several blanks Jim was kind enough to send me as the prize for making the 20K post, thanks very much mate. :thumbs:

Set on a Jr gents chrome rollerball kit from TB, this is a first for me in the larger barrel pen kits but certainly not the last :bwink:

I've also tried to incorporate the advice on taking & editing my photos, thanks again for all the info, just think I need to practice a little more now.

Yes, very nice indeed, Doug! And don't worry about the bowl blanks - you'll make so much money selling these pens - then you can buy a forest! Easy, right?

Doug it's rare that I will comment on a plastic pen other than to say nice fit & finish etc, but you already know that.
If I want a plastic pen I'll a fawpny bic.
I am no expert but trying to help with your pictures I suggest you crop even more, and get the composition to fill the photo.
Minimal background, keep it plain white / black nothing else.
Still abit more to focus the whole pen unless you want to emphasis a nib or specific area.
Once again a little gimp hope it helps.

Beautiful Doug :claps: ..I have a thing about green acrylics :nooidea: I just luv 'em. So it seems does lots of others too. I have sold more vintage fountain pens in shades of green than any other colour, so I try never to pass a green pen by when on the look out for stuff to renovate.
