I was humbled ...

[Jimjam66]

I entered a pen in the IAP "Advanced Beautiful Pen Contest" earlier this month. To be fair my first choice was a bomb, so I turned another one in a bit of a hurry. I was still pleased with it, and quietly confident. Boy, was I wrong! Some absolutely gorgeous entries, leading me to the mind-blowing revelation that I still have a lot to learn. (Well, not so mind-blowing but you get my drift!)

There are a number of 'nice-looking' entries which are purchased blanks fitted to stock kits, those I am not awed by. It's the custom work that is incredibly inspiring and a little humbling. Take a look at the entries here and try to guess which is mine.

Knowing a little history of you and Plastic i would go with Number 4 David ..

 

[Neil]

I'll guess at pen 8

 

[bellringer]

Ye i would go with 4 but 19 is very different

 

[edlea]

Some stunners there all right...I reckon that yours is No 4 too David.

 

[Terry]

I reckon yours is No 4 David but there are some real stunners in the competition. Noticed you have been on the dark side a lot recently !!!!!

David,

it might be 4 but could it be 17 ?

Number 5 is incredible but why in earth a bock feed and a heritance nib, why not a bock nib, don't get that.

Regards

Pete

Jim, I reckon its #4, but with some of the work thats been done on #8 its a tough one......
Some really nice ones there....

Neil and Rowdy guessed it - it was pen 8. I'll post the pics up in a separate thread tomorrow.

Damm, I was going to say number 4 too... I mean number 8.

It would be interesting to see how you made it too David.
