Title: Ahoy, Hoy?
Post by: Keeper on March 11, 2008, 05:03:50 PM
Well, I recently finished some of geronimo's telephone boxes, that I bought from him last summer  :icon_redface: I posted a blog entry on Cheddarmongers about this: Ahoy, Hoy? (http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod/blog/keeper40k/ahoy_hoy)

This is a repeat of the ones I posted on Cheddar Chat, whilst CHF was down, so you might has seen them before!

Linky thumbnails to the pics.

Very nice, will you write telephone on the white bits?  pen would be easier than brush I think  :icon_wink:

Yeah, I've had advice both ways, but I think I'll wimp our and try and get a 0.3mm superfine black pen to do the job.  But it hasn't been done because I don't have one, yet.

lol its not wimping out, would a farmer prefer to use a scythe to cut his corn or a combine harvester?  I didnt know they did a 0.3.  Thought 0.5 was smallest but I dont have either and am using a fine tip rollerball pen, not ideal but does the job...

Of course he is - he should be using organic nail scissors made from flint to cut each ear of corn off, separately ;)

Something like this is what I'm thinking: Super Fine Pen (http://www.officeclicks.co.uk/Stabilo-Sensor-189-Fineliner-Pen-Water-based-Ink-0-8-Tip-0-3mm-Line-Black-Ref-189-46-en-gb-Black-Fineliner-Pens.html)

lol it'd be fine if he charged hourly rate and not price work  :icon_w00t:

Those pens look good and 10 for £7 is brilliant.  The tips are 0.8 giving a 0.3 line and I think there are 0.5 tips around that give a finer line but those ones should be the wiser buy at that price.  If you get them can you let me know what they're like please?
