Trying a new mod

[DurocShark]

It occurred to me that I hadn't tried doing something with the center band on a Euro. So I made a few, but this one really struck me. The high waist and square skirt on the upper half really work for me. I don't think I've seen one quite like it. Oh, and I used a short tube top and bottom.

Cheapie Euro kit, homebrew PR. Brass and aluminum cb.

It's a different design for sure....But I think I like it.....

 

[lazyguy]

I like it but not sure why.

 

[Wood Butcher]

How innovative. Good design, execution and photo. What more can be asked for. Just keep thinking outside the box.

 

[dozuki]

I like it. It looks like it is wearing a little dress

 

[Rfturner]

it has the appearance of a very high end pen. looks great

 

[maxman400]

I like it, it looks very good.

 

[DurocShark]

I like it but not sure why.

And now you see where I'm at with it... :redface:

Thanks folks. I just thought it was neat. I've been doing the basic CB mod on slims for a long time, but it only recently occurred to me that I could do Euros and have larger pens. So that was yet another slippery slope for my spare time to go tobogganing down.

I just realized I didn't post the side shot:

I like it! Its possible with a little work to keep the top and bottom the same diameter and have a real smooth pen. Just a thought.

Don, good looking pen. Basic mods are good practice, it works for me, too. Does the body recess into the cap or meet it?

 

[DurocShark]

They meet. I'm too lazy to do anything fancier.

I like it, but just not sure about the CB or lam. so high on the upper barrel. I really do like it. Carl

I not only like it I really like it. Makes for a very nice pen. The only modification I'd like to see is something done with that round finial. Maybe something that tied in with the centerband.
