Here is my 2nd "successful" kitless pen. I put a clip on this one and it looks to me like the cap is too long. That could be cuz the El Grande clip is a little shorter than the Jr. Statesman. Maybe I need to find another clip. I didn't complete polishing yet in case I have to shorten the cap.

Any comments, good or bad, appreciated and thanks in advance.

I like it Steve. The nice subtle taper makes it look great. I wish I had about 50 yards of this stuff.:biggrin:

Good work!
 
The cap matches the body well, but the slip feels a tad short.

The shape is really nice.
 
Thank you! I added some better pictures. I inked up the pen and will use it for a few days and see how I like it. I think that is right the clip is a little short and I'll try and find another one. Next days off I'll take it apart and finish polishing it up.
 
I agree looks perfect to me Steve! the cap final with clip ring showing is a big plus, makes the pen look well balanced, you really nailed this one, i would like to see it on the front page.:biggrin:
 
I think the pen looks nice. You would probably have to shorten the section to reduce the cap length but then you might not like the feel of the section.
