This was a fun little project I just completed. I was rummaging through my blanks and found one 5" orange lightning blank I probably got at Woodcraft some time ago before I started making kitless pens. As this blank is shorter than I usually require for my pens, I decided to try and build the pen around the blank. It's quite a bit stubbier than my usual pens, and the cap posts in order to make it more comfortable to write with. Right now it has a Jowo #6 1.5mm italic nib on it.
The barrel being as short as it is required me to make my own converter, as all the ones I had on hand were much too long. I have been watching a lot of "The Flash" lately, so this blank kind of made me happy when I came across it (yeah I know, wrong colors though!). Maybe I will try and find one with red or yellow lightning instead!
