Another lever action Pen

I wanted to try a camo design acrylic for one of the lever action pens and when I ordered the kits there was some blanks on sale.  So I bought half a dozen and it turns out that one blank has enough material to make the front and rear of the pen.  I guess a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in a while after all.
Anyway, I wanted to mention something that probably everybody here already knows  -  it seems that Acrylic scratches when you breath on it and it's not a whole lot of fun getting them out.  But it can be done if you spend enough time and paper to do it.
This being my first dive into acrylic, I feel really lucky that I figured it out before I had to trash the whole ides.
So here it is, my first attempt with acrylic
Very colorful Dick!
Something like that could easily hide on my desk, would need the sling and keep it in a rack.
Seems there is no end to the possibilities, your persistence is impressive!
Looks real.   Nice work.

Love these kits... any suggestions in carving the stock?  I have 4 to make up, but no guns to copy from... though I can get images off the internet.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Alex  -  carving the stock isn’t really carving.  I’ve got half a dozen more to make so tomorrow I’ll do a ducky thing and show with pics how I do it.  It’s not necessarily how it should be done,  just how I do it.
