Elegance by Axminster

[Neil]

Or the Executive Sierra or other names. However, this is the Elegance by Axminster, available in any colour combination as per Henry Ford's colour chart, available in any colour you want as long as its gun metal and gold! Was very cynical about this kit as it is out of a company in south East China that has dealt up some horrors in the past but seem to have got their quality issues resolved, well most of them, and those they havent they have put in all the kits that Brian has bought!

Its the same factory that TB source their SR Gents kit and streamline amongst others, and the same one that all of PenkitsUK come from.

However, had to drop my eldest son off to Loughborough Uiersity for an engineering course for a couple of days so managed to work my way back via Axminster and GoodTimber in between Daventry and Northampton. Picked up this pen kit and the blank which is a mesh acrylic and a big salt mill kit and a bobbin sander kit for my drill press, the latter for just under £16.

Anyway, here's the pen:

Where? Where? OMG I've gone blind - can't see it!

 

[Neil]

OK I give up with photobucket, the picture posted is not the same as that which I cropped and copied! Whilst I was editing it is was obviously not available to see.

 

[Neil]

Now I really am loosing the plot, its now changed to the larger photo but has lost some of its scale??????

 

[Kardav]

Everything looks OK to me, even the pen!!!!
Seriously, lovely pen and the acrylic is something else. Good job.

Very nice Neil but as you probably would have guessed I couldn't resist cropping it and doing the levels....

NOBODY LIKES A SMART ARSE!!!

Brilliant, thanks, thats what it looks like, not the drab washed out photo that I posted, how did you do that?

Paul's version looks great, i'm sure Neil's actual pen will look some thing like the photo.

Nice looking pen & a terrific acrylic

[Jim]

Very nice indeed ...

 

[Grump]

Strip it back to brass that will sort the bad picture out then redo it in wood for a proper pen init?

Lovely pen Neil. Ive had a few of those kits and I do like 'em, but it's a shame about the limited choice of kit colour. Love the blank too, not seem anything like it.

Brody, Axminsters elegance is the same, fundamentally, as tbs executive sierra which is available is gun metal and chrome and also gun metal and gold
