New Victorian from PSI

[wayneryan65]

This is the new Pewter Victorian kit from PSI. At first I was not to sure about the kit but when I examined the parts before turning I was shocked at how small the tubes were and was thinking this is not going to look good at all. Well, after I turned one of my handmade blanks and put this pen together I was shocked at how good it really looked. The centerband is really a coverup for the coupler for the transmission. The weight of the pen feels good in your hand with a sense of balance which I was surprised with the heavy cap.
The problem I had and PSI is aware of the problem and is working on the parts fitting loose in the tubes. I only had a problem with one part and a little CA on the inside of the tube solved that problem.
I will be waiting as everyone else is with the overall finish lasting on the components themselves.
I use 7 coats of thin CA and 7 coats of medium for my finish and polish with micro mesh and finish off with NOVUS 2. Thanks for looking and responses and critiques welcome

FYI the plating is epoxy coated so It should hold up good. I am wondering if there is some way to make it a 1 tube
