Olympian II Elite

First time doing this kit. It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, and not real thrilled with all the plastic.

I like the size and feel though... just not the cheap feeling plastic.

Comments welcome as always.

Looks like you did a great job on it.

That pen looks nice! I did a couple of these and initially wasn't thrilled with the plastic. The gold "trim" could be metal, but after having some Navigators with black coating wearing off of the threads, I think I like plastic threads better. Also, I really like how light weight these Olympians are.

Great job on the fit and finish of the pen, but I agree with you....I have made this pen kit before and was disappointed....it looks "plasticky" and, well, cheap.

If they'd make this same kit with 24K gold plated metal instead of the plastic, it would probably look far more classy and appealing.

It Looks Great, I have one of these for my daily driver and it has held up real well. I don't care for the press on postable cap but the light weight is a huge plus when it rides in a uniform shirt pocket for 8 hours a day. It has bumps and scratches but so far the plating has held up on it and it has been working about 8 mos.

Thanks for that.... I was going to offer these for sale but once I saw the kit I didn't think it would hold up at all.

I like these kits. they show off the wood grain real well.... your fit and finish are realy good.

Looks good. I agree about the kit. I had the same issue with the Apollo Infinity kits I got from PSI. The plastic makes them seem chinsy.
