My first casting

[Dalecamino]

I had some Chameleon powder "Carribean Blue to Green" left over after painting the El Camino. Got some Silmar 41 and, a 4 cavity mold from Gadget. I should have gotten the mold with larger cavities, since this stuff shrinks as it cures. But, I was able to get a cigar out of this blank. I don't think I would want to do this every day. My respect goes out to you guys who do this stuff.:wink:

 

[OOPS]

I am curious. How does the pen compare to the completed paint job on the El Camino? This is a neat idea for a pen.

Looks good Chuck! I hope it matches the El, that is a neat idea.

That's a sweet looking pen Chuck. I bet you can keep yourself enertained all day just sitting there twirling it in the sunlight!

Thanks, obviously it being in a solid blank form it's a little different than being sprayed onto a flat surface. I still need to get the chrome back on the El before I take any more pics of it. Waiting for some clips to arrive. But color wise it's the same.

Thanks Joe. The biggest difference is the swirls in the blanks. This is going to have to be made with a kitless variation. :biggrin:

Thanks Derek. That's the exact reason these photos were taken in sunlight. It's pretty cool stuff.

That looks AMAZING. I would dare to call that a perfect blank. If I were gunning for a specific effect for my own personal pens, that would DEFINITELY be on the hotlist.
