Billy, while you have produced some absolutely stunning pictures, and they really are.
Sorry mate the Empress is the wrong pen IMHO there is only one wedding pen, The Roman Harvest.

Just stock, 2nd attempt, I could see the brass tube through the first one, these tubes are cleaned, primed & painted white as will all my acrylics be in the future :thinks::thinks:

The times I've said I'm going to paint my tubes when using acrylics and it totally goes out of my head the next time I did an acrylic !!!:sob:

I know where you are coming from Brian, although I am happy with the turning & the finish, the kit itself is a bit of a let down :thinks::thinks:

You may have noticed or maybe not that the jewel is missing from the bottom of the fountain pen clip. Quality Control noticed it after I had posted, we found it & it is now back in place but it doesn't fill me with confidence. :sob:

The threads are also not particularly good either, problem is I have another five pairs (undecided what to do with them). :sob:

Like you say I may well give it a go with the Roman Harvest :thinks:

Thanks for the advice, its much appreciated :thanxs:

Roman Harvest white on gold is the best we have available to us.
It's a wedding pen Billy nothing else will do.
Personally I would give these to a chav and do some proper ones for real people.
It's your neck not mine mate.

I think you are right Brian, I will put them on my Facebook page as they look ok on a photograph but I don't think I will sell them as a wedding set, will use photo as a prelude to making future sets to order.

They are great pics shame about the missing bling I hadn't noticed till you pointed it out.
I did a poll on these and other so called high end kits and this happened to me as I opened packet.
