I started a new thread because I didn't want to sidetrack John T. "What If" thread. There were a couple of remarks about "I wouldn't start with Slimlines". I DO understand that it's a cheap kit that when finished it's becomes some what a cheap pen. With that out of the way I want to add that since it's a low price kit you can practice and mess up and give them away and not be out much money. I'm sure most of us have figured out that although you can get materials reasonably priced at times it can still add up. Friends have told me it's the same amount of work as most other pens and you'll be lucky to get half the price when you try to sell it. That is true but my thinking is if I can get $30-$60 for one pen I can buy several more kits to keep busy. I like the fact that it's a small sleek pen that can be easily carried so people can use and show them off. Last but not least I think it is the most versatile kit there is. You can alter the kit so many ways it's unreal. Just look at the Slimline Contests. I don't think it's the one and only kit I think it just gets a bad rap from time to time.
