Green and Black Custom FP

[RogerBean]

Black and green resin from Exotic Blanks, #6 Medium Meisternib. Black acrylic cap and barrel finials. 12mm triple lead cap thread. I nickel plated the brass coupler and trim ring.

Not intended to channel any particular style, though I am very much a FP traditionalist. It's more a platform for trying out the plating process. Balance seems OK despite the additional weight of the metal parts. This clip is perhaps a bit too heavy, both visually and weight-wise, but I didn't have a better alternative at hand.

150 mm capped
138 mm uncapped
38 grams

Comments and criticism welcome. Thanks for looking.

I see nothing wrong with the clip, heavy is always better for daily use anyway(less chance of prying the clip off in a shirt pocket).

Like the straight line of this one, and all the little details seem to have been thought of by you too!!

I see nothing wrong either. Love the metal accents

I think the size of the clip is fine and suits the pen quite well, I do however think the clips trim ring is too small in comparission to the trim ring on the barrel.

EDIT: On second look is the clips trim ring even exposed?

Overall a great pen!
