Nice job as usual Ehgemus.
I for one like the scrolls or ribs. It kinda gives the look a blend of both organic and industrial.
I love this old design you did

It depends on the host and the amount of detail work but will be somewhere between 47.00-55.00 this is for the powder coated host. I have black and I Just ordered some red powder coat paint. If you want some off the wall color it could cost you as much as for 12.00-20.00 more if it is a color that I will never use again. if it's a color i will have know problem using on other parts than the cost will not go up that much.

Just wondering, could I send you one of my hosts for you to powder coat? About what would that cost in black? I'm mostly interested in violet/blue or perhaps a color shift coat tho.
Host would likely be a small 10440, 10280 or even 10180 host in 6061 alum. Can it adhere to nickel plated brass or unplated brass?

The host would have to be able to withstand 350-400 degrees for about 15 mins, that means no parts that will melt.
it would stick to the unplated brass just fine. nickel plated? It would have to check on that.
price would be like 15.00 for the black or red. other colors would have to be ordered.

Dude, since you're using it as your avatar here's a semi-enhanced version (I also removed the date).
