COMPLETION!

The first two GanPens were completed as Christmas gifts for my sister and brother.

BEHOLD!

20 Days Later

So, 20 days later and progress is made!
The master mold has been created. It produces the sexiest GanPens to date. Oh so smooth.
The pinstriping enamel didn't turn out well. But, enamel model paints work extremely well. Who would've known that such good stuff was right under my nose? I used to use them to paint Gundams.

I've decided that I'm making a limited edition run of 50 penguins. I'll probably sell them around $25 each. They will be unique, hand painted, and one-of-a-kind. Special blood splatters and themed paintjobs ahoy!

Pictures will come soon!

Setbacks

Long time no update.
Mah bad.
So, in the few weeks I have neglected to update, many things have happened.
-The master cast for GanPen wasn't the master cast after all...too many imperfections.
-I'm sanding a GanPen from the new cast so I can make a cast of that one.
-Sai gave me some 800 and 2000 grit sandpaper. Who knew they had 2000? Anyway, this GanPen is going to be WAY smooth.
-I've been playing with paint.

The paint is some pinstriping enamel Overton is letting me use. I need to get flat black, though. Looks a bit unnatural.
