Turbulent Blue

[Simplex]

I recently finished this kitless fountain pen and I am pretty happy with the results. The blank is a home-brew from PR using opaque pigments. The front section is made from aluminum and outfitted with a #5 Heritance nib. I departed from the normal path on this one and incorporated the threads for the cap into the front section. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

Great looking pen all around! There's nothing about it that I don't like...it just screams...LOOK AT ME! Really great work!

That is pretty cool. How do you think the cap will hold up to the metal threads though?

Thanks!

The same thing crossed my mind when I was making it but I'm glad to say that the cap has held up as if the threads were PR.

I love the blank and the work. Great job. What kind of threads did you use?

Thanks! The cap threads are 1/2 x 20 and the front section threads that attach to the body (not shown) are M10 X 1.

I'm working on another one like this except it is green and white and the shape will probably be a little different.
