Thank you, it is indeed. And the best thing about it is that I can tell my missus she can't use it.

Ha. Well you could get her a Lady Sheaffer…

The Skyline vibe was the first thing that struck me about the Comet too.

Waterman Kultur - F. nib.  Ink:  Blue ink cartridge

[AgedAndFine]

An old dark Blue Parker Vector, the first "nice" fountain pen I bought with my own money in the 1980s.  Blue Black ink cartridge.  Prior to that, I used WingSungs, Heros, and Camlin in school, where fountain pens were mandatory.

Everyone's out of the house today so I can work in peace sitting in the garden. With me is a black Pelikan M150 with broad nib and a bellyful of Kaweco Ruby Red.

I am at work and am using: Lamy 2000, Pelikan m800, Sailor PG Habenero. I love these things!

At my desk, just a few notes with a PenBBS 500 (M) filled with Rohrer & Klingner Cassia. (Tends to start with a skip on the downstroke, annoyingly.)

 

At the café, a few more notes with a Kaweco AL Sport (EF) containing a cartridge of Graf von Faber-Castell Cobalt Blue.

And my vintage Universal Uniflow joined the Ranga Bamboo in the evening...

@jandrew, Your drawings are wonderful!

Today in my pen pouch to work

1. Wing Sung 601. Daily workhorse after much use its becoming smoother and more pleasant to use

2. Jinhao cigar shaped demonstator pen with a custom "naginata togi" nib bought from Aliexpress. Its taking time getting used to, flow is still a little to dry.

3. Vintage Esterbrook cartridge pen with 9550 nib, smooth and wet pen.

4. Jinhao 51A with an open nib, surprisingly smooth and wet pen

Heh, another good-looking pen with an Eversharp Skyline vibe. I must be having tunnel vision, everything's a Skyline now 😄

Wonderful pic and great pen. Thanks for sharing, @ruby.monkey. I feel inspired to do the same.

TL;DR: My drawing kit visited Bologna during the weekend. The primary action here was from: an Opus 88 Demo with steel stub nib inked with Platinum Carbon black, a Parker 45 Flighter with steel F nib inked with Diamine Scarlet (pink), a Lamy Vista with steel M nib inked with Lamy Turquoise (?), plus a Pentel Aquash waterbrush with watered down Noodler's Lexington Grey, and various pens. 

 

Figure 1. There were once three engineers in Bologna. Two built towers. A third drew them. None was particularly accurate. 

 

Inspired by, but without shifting blame to, @ruby.monkey 😄

Nice selection, and a lovely sketch. Is that a Koh-I-Noor lead holder?

 

I already have a Koloro in red, but I must admit to feeling the temptation to get a Demonstrator to go with it. This ain't helping.

Thank you for your kind words.

Indeed it is, for 5.6 mm leads. I also have in my kit the 2 mm version, which I use when I want to be more precise or want just a pencil-made drawing.

Hehe, glad to help (enable?). Just notice the Demonstrator is larger. 😄
