well I finally got to use my machines from the tattooed pirate on something more than tiny script..I outlined both with a blunderbuss and colored/shaded with my Rapier I

So, what did you think about it? Did it work out well for you - feel similar to coils or not?

I love both these machines..I like the blunderbuss for lining better than the rapier (my rapier was re-tooled by cary with a shorter stroke to 3mm) but I like each of them equally for shading and coloring. these are the only 2 machines I use now. I set up a coil machine yesterday (because I didn't have any more rotaries to set up, these 2 were already set up) and I didn't like using the coil machine at all..

Can't really give much more of a positive review than that, Thom!

Glad to hear you like the Blunderbuss so much, maybe I should have actually tried lining with it before trading LOL! I'm just kidding mate I'm glad its gone to a home where its actually getting used :)
