Another 2 firsts.
A knight Templar pen blank from Gadget - uk and a Beaufort Aquilio.
Never turned clear resin before so was a bit nervous that I'll end up with scratches, but it's turned out brilliant, no scratches. (Thanks Gadget-uk).
And an Beaufort Aquilio in gun metal, first time making one of these, but really impressed, feels really solid and lovely twist action to it. (just ordered more😁)

Very nice indeed, well done....
You'll have plenty of ribbons turning acrylics, I use liquid Polish for car paint from Machine mart as a final Polish to remove tiny scratches :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thanks all.
Used Abranet to 600, then micropads and finished with Axminster acrylic polish.
Got another couple of kits on order from Beaufort 😊😊
Gadget-uk, that's ok 🤣🤣🤣.

I haven't got any new ones. The last ones I got are still in the bag. Son borrowed my car as his had problems so haven't been able to get to she's to cut and sand. Hopefully will get done next week and maybe get a couple done.....

I have the dancing cats and zoo animals. But can't get my pens to stand on them as they keep falling over. Enough about them. The pen looks a lot brighter than mine, possibly I haven't taken it down far enough. Well done.....

Tom. The cats were the same, they wouldn't stand up, but I poured a bit of boiling water over each arm and moved them forward slightly and moved the hands upwards. I done the tail too, moved it out a bit so the cats are leaning slightly backwards. They work OK now after doing that.
