    Picture above explains it all. Requested by: 17 people (@JackyMacky) and myself XD Stats: +++++++++++++++++++++++ Length: 21 cm Width: why do you care Weight: 13g Difficulty: Medium Cost: $8 Materials ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1x Pentel Color Pen S360 1x Bic Clic Stic 1x Pilot G3 metal 1x Pentel RSVP 1x Random Grip 1x HGG inktube 1x G2 inktube Tutorial: ++++++++++++++++++++++++ [SPOILER="tutorial :D"]1. Empty the S360. Remove the backplug, ink, and tip. Wrap an insert around the front part usually covered by the cap. 2. Remove clip and sand down bump on G3 cap. Apply a random grip. 3. Drill a hole in the back of the G3 cap that the RSVP inktube metal tip can fit through. 4. Stick the cap on the insert on the S360. 5. Modify the RSVP inktube like this: stopper 5.5 cm from tip, extension 0.9 cm You may need to change these measurements. 6. File the clip down on the Bic clicker. 7. Attach a length of HGG inktube onto the clicker. 8. Stick a G2 inktube on top of that and put tape on it so the G3 tip stays on firmly. 9. Get the proportions down to about the ones shown in the picture: I don't give exact measurements because you will probably want to change them to fit the way you hollow out the cap. 10. Hollow out the cap and cut 0.2 cm from it. THEN start filing it down until it the same circumference as the S360 body. 11. Put the Bic Clicker assembly into the S360 cap. The end of it should stick out about 2.3 cm. Then, wrap some tape around that and stick it along with the RSVP inktube into the S360 body.[/SPOILER] :zblader: You are done!!!!!!!! Except you are not. You have to adjust it now... *later* Q&A Q: Is this mod balanced? A: No Q: Well, how can you balance it? A: Jam some sticky tack into the inktubes & tip on the front Q: Where can I get the parts? A: S360, bic clic, RSVP, G2 are available at some stores, G3 and HGG are probably not Q: How can I make the transition better between the cap and body? A: Carefully file down/adjust the edge of the cap Q: Why are you so awesome? A: It's natural XD +++++++++++++++++++++++++ FEEDBACK PLEASE

    Not Bad :D doesn't seem hard to construct besides the holes in the caps but overall its quite nice a mod

    @N!k I just saw that I'm mentioned here, but it didn't show on my profile :dunno: I think it's a pretty nice idea to have the writing mechanism on the other side. Moreover it seems to be a pretty cheap pen, so I could imagine to make one when I have all the materials. I like :) (only one suggestion: I wouldn't use normal yellow and fluro yellow on the same mod, that doesn't fit so well... Maybe take anyball grip or e.g. give the frontcap and the grip another colour like black, so that the optic is still balanced ;) )

    @Jolly Thanks for the feedback Yeah, the gripping is pretty odd. I was trying to cover up the clip cut on the G3 cap with a grip. However, the yellow sailor grip is fluoro and the yellow anyball is too dark to match the S360 yellow. I really don't know what other grips to use and I don't have any G2 or SuperGrip grips. As for the front, I wanted to protect the awesomeness of the S360 front cap by leaving it bare, but I suppose that's not really relevant now.

    looks awesome, but is it sturdy?

    @N!k hmm, okay I didn't know that anys don't have the same colour as well; but I didn't mean that you should change the front by adding grips or sth., that's totally fine like it is now, I meant that if you don't find a good yellow grip for the back you could for example take a black sailor and black insert in the cap and therefore just change the yellow frontcap into a black cap as well, so that the other colour is not only on one side. But nonetheless I am of the opinion that the reversed writing mechanism is what makes it pretty awesome, so no need to bother :D
