    [SIZE="5"][B]Hello everybody ! =D[/B][/SIZE]
    Today, I present you a beautiful mod, a mix between the Badtzu Mx and the Near Mx. It has been created by Hybrya, of FPSB : The DragonFly Mod (Mod by Hybrya, Montage by Croquette, of FPSB.)
    Name : DragonFly Mod COG : Center of pen Length : 20,5 / 21 cm Weight : 13gr Style : Single Sided Writing mechanism : / Ink-type : / Estimated-Cost : $10/$12 Materials list: -2 Flexgrip ultra (body) ; -1 RSVP (grip + cap) ; -1 empty ink cartridge or a lead pencil ; -1 Unibal Signo (cap) (See here.) ; -1 Hybrid Gel Grip (tip) ; -1 or 2 Pilot G2 (grips) ; -Another RSVP’s grip (Or HGG, but that's not better, and you must cut the grip) (Attention on colors, it’s to make keep heading of the RSVP’s cap) ; -1 Criterium bic matic (tip). [SIZE="4"][B]1°/ The before part :[/B][/SIZE] 1- Take the Signo's cap, then has the help of a stalk in metal, push the sort of backcap of the hood to make it go away. 2- Seize up with it the first one RSVP's grip, then that of G2 cut in 2/3 of the part smooth this part may be so long (good luck ) (you can soap signo cap). 3- Push the criterium's tip in the signo's cap, then push it with the system of cliquage of G2 which you will leave inside. 4- Add stripes in front of the Flexgrip's body, then push the Signo's cap on the body and screw the HGG's tip on the criterium's tip. [SIZE="4"][B]2°/ The body :[/B][/SIZE] 1- Take Flexgrips Ultra and remove tips and back part. 2- Cut one of both Flexgrip at the level of the last one stripe, perfectly STRAIGHT AHEAD. 3- Cut the second body of FlexGrip at the level of his last one stripe and by means of a lead pencil/color or an empty ink cardridge, made hold both bodies together. [SIZE="4"][B]3°/ The Back Part :[/B][/SIZE] 1-Take RSVP's grip or HGG's grip and place it behind the mod. 2-Put the RSVP’s cap by the top of RSVP’s or HGG’s grip (here, I used a cap of some felt-tip). 3- Add grip's stripes on the body, add of the patafix or a HGG's tip to balance the mod. Here is a beautiful DragonFly Mod ! [SIZE="4"][B]Advantages :[/B][/SIZE] -FlexGrip’s body :wub:; -Beautiful mod Ü ; -Surface of spin is variable ; -A lot of available colors ! Flexgrips Ultra can be fake with Flexgrips Elite, and you can use Color RSVPs ! [SIZE="4"][B]Inconvenience :[/B][/SIZE] -A bit hard to make this mod (mostly for put the RSVP's grip on Signo's cap. ^^''). Now, some photos: Franss mod Zanshi mod Tintin109 mod And just for fun, my Mini DragonFly Mod: Nice, isn't it?^^ Thanks to Croquette <3, for the montage ; Thanks to Vôre-Tèx and tintin109, for the post on UPSB V3 and the traduction which that has required ; And, thanks to everyone who helped me, in modding this mod or not.

    2-Put the RSVP’s cap by the top of RSVP’s or HGG’s grip (here, I used a cap of some felt-tip).
    What cap did you use? It looks like those stabilo markers (les feutres ronds :O)

    ugly mod ^^

    honestly the front is a lot shorter than the back which gives it an unbalanced look. doesnt look like a lot of spinning space and the rsvp grips around such a large barrel make thr front looks fat as opposed to the thr skinner back

    Might not looks so great in the front, but it spins good. I love the barrel. Feels amazing. Plus, mine has a good spinning effect, so that's cool.

    If you will say Ugly, please give arguments, or you will be ridiculous, seriously. @Biji This is an Esquisse cap, the same as S777 Mx. You can use a RSVP Grip or a HGG Grip to make a substitute, Zanshi do it, as you can see in his picture :).

    i don't really see why you needed to make another tutorial when you had recently just made a tutorial on v3.

    Ok some arguements. The front looks like grip spaming and i don´t grip spaming. What i also do not like is the flexgrip body.It looks not good and the spinning is bad, too. And the mod is for a sc mod a bit 2 long. I just like 19-20 cm for a sc.

    Have you made this mod or spun it?

    well you have to remember that not everyone will like this mod's weight, not everyone will agree on its aesthetic appeal, not everyone will enjoy its spinnability as much as you.

    No i have not made it. And i did not spin it. But i hate flexgrip bodies and this mod does not look good. I think a MX looks better :)

    A lot a people on fpsb would rather DFM than RSVP MX... And yes, this mod isn't realy nice, but it is good to spin.

    I know, I know... But please, try to mod it. It isn't required a lot of pens. Maybe you don't like the look of this mod, but I say it again, I love it spin. Good bye.

    looks cool.. i think you should present with black body, will look better imo. orange and grey can conflict. in terms of spin, i will try it. ;]
