Take a guess
This acrylic chrome capped rollerball had hung around for months, originally I made it too bulbous & having looked around & seen how others have turned blanks for this kit I decided to take it apart & make it much thinner.

I much prefer the new shape & although I know quite a few don't like this kit I think it's quite nice.

I think anywhere in between both shapes would satisfy most people, lovely blank (I like plastic - there I said it!) and a great finish.
