My Toxic Green Reo

[darkzero]

Got a tropical green Grand & this one is all mine. Slapped a black door on it. Also made another Ti cap & drip tip for it & anodized it green. Forgot I had got some blue fairy from Alhusion a couple of months ago, anise is perfect for this one (too bad I don't like Alhusion's absinthe though).

A group photo (not all are mine though).

There's just one problem..... I don't like the anodized cap & drip tip! I etched the flutes & grooves before anodizing to give it a different contrast.

For those of you that don't know, andodizing titanium is just building an oxidized layer. The layers make the light reflect different & causes your eyes to see different colors. So as you can see in the pics it looks like there's different shades of green & teal towards the bottom but there really isn't.

I think I'm going to ditch the green cap & drip tip & go with a machined finish. I love Ti in machined finish. Hmm, maybe I'll try stonewashing it?

You did a spectacular job on that

I'd be more than willing to take the green cap off your hands! You know, just to help you out, lol. Seriously, these are gorgeous. I love the shape and lines. Awesome!

That looks sick~!

I was going for a black body w/ toxic green door like in the second picture (plus a white body w/ purple door to swap around). Now I know for sure the color combo is to my liking!

 

[darkzero]

Thanks everyone! I'm not ready to give up the green cap yet though. It's going to get stripped when I get a chance, sorry.


Ok, all better.....

So dope!

I have a bit of Ti anno experience and the greens are in the hot range where the color changes by the millisecond. I like it both ways, honestly. I'm assuming this is a cap for the RM2? WANT!

Damn shame you don't dig the green atty hat and drip tip.. cause that is one killer combo DZ. Absolutely stunning.

That's beautiful!!!

 

[darkzero]

Thanks!

P_H, ufortunately not for a RM2....

Stats, in my mind I thought it would look good but it didn't come out the way I envisioned it. Maybe I'll try anodizing it again. Maybe I'll try a black one, I have some zirconium that I haven't played with yet.

That looks absolutely beautiful. Hmm... maybe I should reconsider the green -- I've had it in my shopping cart a couple of times, but last time I decided on the white one (still waiting for it -- international customs sucks).

That's some nice skills you have there

 

[unloaded]

You need some Pluid in that sucka!

 

[Matthee]

Hey man, that is a work of art. You got to just love all of it!

 

[NicoHolic]

DZ, you're definitely an artist with metals! ...not to mention with a camera. I really enjoy gazing at your pictures of your craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing them!

 

[DoogieTony]

Nice! It's definitely the "black sheep" of your collection.

 

[Raynman]

Hey if you come home one day to find your house broken into and that is the only thing missing PM me and I'll bring it back. LOL

I agree! I loved that original look. Very nice work!

It's very cool seeing all the customization going on with the REOs. We've got some creative folks here.

That original anodized cap was a marvel. Too bad you stripped it again!

 

[Crash Moses]

Very nice, DZ! I like absinthe too. That's all I put in my copper vein. I'm satisfied with Mt. Baker's absinthe but I'm still hunting for a really, really good one.

Fantastico!!! again. And here are a few more for your subsequent posts....Fantastico! Fantastico! You are a reo zen master, DZ.
