I have a 1.9mm on my Lamy Copper Orange. It is a huge pen, not necessarily good for lots of writing, unless you're doing calligraphy, but it definitely makes a bold statement for short notes. And that's a very bold ink, as well. Nice combo!

Troy, yes it does! And you were missed.

The trumpet looks so huge on this pen stand, it needs a Victor Dog to accompany it! :D

:D - Great analogy! It is a big trumpet, I am not as familiar with desk pens, I have wondered if this is the correct pen and base...If it is thats a plus, if not I still like the combination.

Oh nice work! It looks like you closed up on the flow of ink too for the Medium grind. What tools did you use to do all this?

 

Only 3 grades of dry cut-up Mylar sheets and lots of time, all on my office desk. I actually used a different ink (Platinum Pigment Blue) to test.

Nice Preppy hack! Love the braided wire. Hmmmm....

 

What kind of paint did you use?

 

And if you like making and hacking things like this, have you tried Sugru? Amazing stuff, and now available in the glue aisle in Target.

I like the Preppy as well. Hard to tell what it was, except for the nib. The link to Sugru looks interesting.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

It was originally a blue extra fine 02 model Preppy, but I put in an 03 nib from a Plaisir into it, and the 02 nib into the Plaisir for a durable pen I can actually carry around.

 

I used nail polish (autumn spice scented polish, at that), and washi tape on the end of the cap and grip so the cap, which had been cracked, would snap back on. The roll-stopper is made of jewelry wire, and I used more washi tape at the top to keep it in place. The clip shattered to bits, unfortunately. I thought of using polymorph plastic to make a new clip perhaps. But I like it as is for now. :D

 

I hadn't heard of Sugru before until your post. Nice! Something else worth checking out!

Love your GIF. Nicely played. Watched that film on a long international flight, mostly because I was tired and thought it would be disposable. Loved it.

You should arrange a long distance India Pen Posse!
