    People were asking, so yeah. This mod was created by hoiboy. In principal, the mod was created to have a signo-tipped, double capped, symmetrical mod utilizing a Playcolor body and the unclipped caps. Plastic sailor tips were used to lengthen the mod, as a signo-tipped Playcolor with unclipped caps is very short. To reiterate, all credits for this mod go to hoiboy. Hoiboy's Playcolor Mod [B]Stats:[/B] Mod Name: hoiboy's Playcolor Mod (note the lowercase h ;D) COG=COP Length: 20.1 cm Momentum: Just under an EP comssa I believe (don't have one to compare to atm :x) Weight: Same as any other DC, signo tipped mod. May be slightly heavier due to tape. Style: "Double sided stick" Ink: None (can be made writable by not removing ink) Estimated Cost: ~10 USD [B]Materials:[/B] 2x Playcolor2 (1 emptied body, the 2 unclipped caps) 2x Signo Tip 2x Sailor Gel pen (tips and grips) Packaging Tape [B]Pros:[/B] -Balanced -Long, but appears of a reasonable length when you spin if tips do not show up well on your camera. -Aesthetics, depending on individual -Feeling of barrel, depending on individual [B]Cons:[/B] -Uses a lot of packaging tape -Taping and trimming is very time consuming -Playcolor2 body is slipperier than the sex lube my bio teacher squirted on everyone's hands last year -Aesthetics, depending on individual -Feeling of barrel, depending on individual [spoiler=Video Tutorial by hoiboy][/spoiler] [spoiler=Text Tutorial by blah]NOTE: For all pictures, top = before, bottom = after [B]Step 1[/B] Gather materials. [B]Step 2[/B] Screw a signo tip onto a sailor gel tip. [B]Step 3[/B] Tape the end of one unclipped cap so that the Playcolor cap is the same width as the base of the sailor tip. [SIZE="4"][COLOR="red"]WARNING: MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS ON THE [B]UNCLIPPED[/B] CAP.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [B]Step 4[/B] Tape the tips onto the unclipped cap. If it feels very unstable, add some more tape. [B]Step 5[/B] Now see the part in the bracket? It's pretty thin compared to the base of the sailor tip and the end of the playcolor cap. The fix? You guessed it: more tape in that area. [B]Step 6[/B] Slide a sailor grip over the tips. [B]Step 7[/B] Repeat steps 2-6 on the other [B]UNCLIPPED[/B] cap. Place both completed caps on the emptied Playcolor mod. Completion of mod. [/spoiler] [COLOR="red"]WARNING: DO NOT RUB THE BODY WITH ACETONE TO REMOVE THE TEXT. The barrel gets damaged and is very scratchy afterwards. I do not know what the case is with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. [/COLOR] [B]FAQ:[/B] Q: It rattles. A: More tape. Q: Step 3 is a bish. A: Yo, if little girl blah can do it, you can too. Man up. Q: So much tape O.O A: uhhh...yeah, so? lol Q: How does it spin? A: Nice, though I find the barrel quite slippery.

    you could make it shorter by using g2 barrel and attach it to a signo tip>playcolor cap and tape it

    If only PenwisH stocked colours like red blue and black =( Also, Guitrum, there are some acetone free nail polish removers which might have been what he was referring to.

    @Jan Read the parts list... If you're asking where to get the pen then you can get em at daiso, trades, or ask PW.

    Read my post again... :facepalm: And you can always ask PW if he has spare parts laying around since the tips and caps of sailors aren't used often

    Most plastic tips willl work. I chose sailors mainly 'cuz it shortens the part list.

    Are you copying hongkong's mod?

  18. blahblahting

    The mod in the HKPSB forum uses sections of anyball grip to lengthen the mod. hoiboy's mod uses signo tips to add to the length. The pens are dissimilar in that aspect, but both of them are alike in how they use signo tips and playcolor 2's. And this is just a subtle difference, but hoiboy uses sailors as opposed to biefa grips.

    @sumlo: I am very well aware that 3ternity also has a similar pc2 mod. However, if I must point out, I made (and released) my mod almost a full year before 3ternity did. If anything, he copied me.

    I'm sorry about that, Hoiboy I wasn't often on UPSB So that I didn't know that you had made this almost a full year before me If you think I was copying your mod, I just can say"sorry, hoiboy" But in fact, I haven't saw anything about this mod In other words, my pc2 mod wasn't copied from your pc2 mod

    I'm not saying you copied me, nor did I copy you. It was just a coincidence, I guess. I was just pointing out to the doubters that there was no way I could have "stolen" your mod idea.

    Also I was just pointing out to the doubters that there was no way I could have "stolen" your mod idea, too

    Do you happen to know if retractable sailor tips work?

  25. Holypie
    Date: Tue, Mar 1 2011 13:27:16

    Definitely not, retractable sailor pens have a front part that is like the front part of a G2 (not really, but think of it like that). It's a long plastic piece which houses the grip. Supergrip tips might work.
