    Originally I didn't want to post a tutorial for this mod at all because of it's simplicity and it's very easy to guess how it's made but a lot of people have asked my how to make my lime green mod and it's tiresome to answer them one by one so I decided to make a tutorial out for it. The name is still tentative. The main part of the tutorial is how to make the body alone. You can use whatever tip/grip combination you like. [video=youtube;fUFzId5Nc_Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUFzId5Nc_Y[/video] ----------------------------------------------------- Statistics (For the Lime green mod only): ----------------------------------------------------- PCST Cap Mod COG: COP Length: 21.1cm Weight: Signo Tipped Comssa < PCST Cap Mod < Dr. KT Style: Double Sided Writing-Mechanism: -Nil- Ink-Type: -Nil- Estimated-Cost: USD$20-21 if your making it exactly the same as the lime green mod (USD$4-5 for the body section alone) ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Materials Needed: ----------------------------------------------------- 2 Playcolor2 Markers 2 Supertip Markers 1 BIC Round Stic Grip + Whatever Grips and Tips you want Scotch tape Scissors ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Tutorial: ----------------------------------------------------- [SPOILER="Body"] 1. Gather these parts: 2 Supertip caps 2 PC2 unclip caps Round Stic Grip Barrel Round Stic Grip inner barrel (part under the grip) 2. Make an STEK body this way [SPOILER="How to make an STEK body"] 2a. Cut the top part of the Inner Round Stic Grip Barrel 2b. Push the front part of the Supertip caps into the barrel like so [/SPOILER] 3.Cut the BIC Barrel to two 3cm sections The rest of the barrel is not needed 4. Wrap tape around one end of both BIC Barrels so they fit snuggly into the PC2 Caps and push them into othe PC2 Cap like so 5. Add tape to the rest of the revealing section of both BIC Barrels so they fits snuggly into the back of the Supertip caps And push them into the Supertip Caps like so And now the body is complete! [/SPOILER]

    [SPOILER="Adding Tips and Grips"] You can use any Tip/Grip Combination you want Some ways to add Tips and grips: Buster CYL method BSPC Method Dr. KT Method [SPOILER="Lime Green Mod Method"] Materials you will need: 2 ZT tips 1 Signo DX Grip 1 Dr. Grip G-Spec Grip Electrical tape 1. Screw the ZT tip into the cap It should screw in nicely but not all the way in. 2. Add tape around the tip and cap and cut both grips into 1cm sections 3. Add the Signo Grips first then the G-Spec Grips. [/SPOILER] The Possibilities are Endless!! [/SPOILER] ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- PROS: ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Easy to make 2. Many colour schemes to choose from 3. You can make it to you desired pen weight ----------------------------------------------------- CONS: ----------------------------------------------------- 1. The Gaps in the centre of the mod and the side get a little annoying 2. The colours of the PC2 and the Supertips don't match a lot of the time. The only ones that I have that have same or close colours are the yellow, black, red, orange and Lime green ones. ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Q/A: ----------------------------------------------------- Q: How come your grips aren't straight? A: I don't know. I can't ever seem to cut a grip straight. Q: The Caps are loose A: Add more tape (applicable of the STEK Body as well) Q: Why aren't the barrels you cut straight? A: doesn't matter if it's straight or not. It'll be hidden ----------------------------------------------------- Have fun!

    could i use both caps from ONE playcolor2 marker

    Pretty sure u can, but one of the caps are clipped which means even if u unclip it it wont be even and that will affect the balance very slightly~ ... it also looks bad too Frog~

    what if i cut the clip off and shaved it down flush to the cap. would the balance be the same on both sides

    the balance wont be affect too much either way but im gonna say this... 99.999% u wont get the clip removed PERFECTLY and LOOK IDENTICAL to the other one. thats what i was trying to say back then.. hence the "it also looks bad too" ofcourse, no one is stopping u if u insist doing it ;) its your mod afterall. Frog~

    Song is in the description. It's Hosanna by Starfield. Or you can search it up by Hillsong :P I'm pretty sure there's a verse that they wrote it after since a lot of songs are like that, but it's escaping me now >.<

    Bic Stic Grip can be found in some Popukar stores like Bras Basah. Playcolours are also found in some Populars like Jurong. And supertips with those caps can be foun in toys r us or other shops. You do realise that this was quite long ago right.

    For the part where I need to cut the 3 cm from the bic round stic grip barrel, instead of using the bic round stic grip barrel , can I use a bic round stic barrel? (not sure if there is a difference)

    I realised that u can reverse the pc2 cap. It fits well into the st cap and put a g3 tip into the pc2 cap. Then it becomes an inverse tipped mod xD

    just à little bit light but I think It's because I don't use a lot of grip to add some weight to it but it still a great mod :)
