A Couple For The Gothic Scene

A couple of PSI Southwest Twist Pen Kits, noted for the Coral accents in the C/B .. The kit is quite well made and feels very heavy .. Though i had an issue with the twist mechanism on one of the kits, it is about 3mm longer which doesn't allow the two halves to come together .. I swapped the mechanism about to be able to take the pictures of both pens ..

Feel free to pick the bones out of this kit, and pens .. :winking:

I really like those and you have done really well using blanks that go well with the colouring.

I think the blanks fit the pens nicely. Whilst the workmanship is good, I am afraid there is little terrestrial assistance that could have lifted this design off the very bottom of the terrible pile. It looks like a five year old spent along time stickin play doh on the centre band. Utterly ghastly.


Sorry Jim!

The blanks are superbly matched to the kits Jim. Shame about the tranni tho.

The kit is not my bag but sure you have someone in mind, very unique tho..

If you send the piccie to my e mail addy Jim I will send it off to them to see if they can do anything with it for you.:thumbs:

Such a shame about the mechs but you've turned them and mathed the blanks superbly... and of course the finishing is par excellance.

Nowt wrong with the quality of the work.

Plenty wrong with the kit imho.

Sorry Jim, I really do not like those kits but you made a good job of making them up.
