PSI Big Ben Kit...?

[Leviblue]

Has anyone completed a Big Ben snap cap pen from PSI? If so, what are the pro's and con's? The retainer looks like the same plastic piece found in their Artisan series.

Thanks,
Kevin

That would certainly be a big negative.

Haven't made one but I just checked the instructions on line and they seem to indicate the cap attaches the same way as their "Traditional" pens. Plastic insert that threads onto a threaded shaft from the clip/cap assy. I used to do the Traditional, haven't made one in a while.

BTW - the "Artisan series" is actually from Craft Supplies USA.

I have done two of them and don't much care for them myself. The retaining clip is made of cheap plastic. The body of the pen is a nice size , but the nib end is way to small for my liking. Very cheaply and poorly made. I check my inventory and see if I have any left to post pics of.

Thanks for the responses. They've been helpful.

Oh yeah, the other place has the Artisan CSUSA not PSI. That's what I meant... yeah that's it.
