And done!

A bit more experimentation with painting tubes here. The end pens (purple and black/orange) have one tube white and one tube black - they came from the same blank. The middle pen started as a craftpro white blank, and I painted the tube dark blue. I am quite pleased with it, and will definitely try different colours!

Nice looking batch Alan. I think I will have a go at changing colours rs of the tubes.

I think this will be a long-running experiment. Next up will probably be the white blank with a red tube/hole, will probably turn out pinkish.

I am also curious about the more strongly coloured blanks - adding red paint to a primarily blue blank could give some nice purples maybe, or it might not do anything - that's the fun bit!
