Welcome to the The IAP Birthday Bash .
As some of you may know , I think that the Cigar pen kit is one of the most modifiable kits of all ballpoint pen kits , even more so then the Slimline pen kits . Here's your chance to prove it . Any modification that can be made with a Slimline kit can be made with a Cigar kit and more .
This is a contest to find the most modified Cigar pen made by a member for this contest . It is open to all members and there are some great prizes to be won . I have tried to keep the rules as simple as I can so that everyone can compete on a equal basis .
Rules for the Modified Cigar pen contest are ;
1 - Must use a Cigar kit Nib/Nosecone , cigar transmission and cigar clip .
2 - The pen must be made for the contest by the person entering the contest and not have been shown before Feb 1 2011 .
3 - Winners will be chosen by Fit , Finish and the type and amount of the modification , so take the best pictures you can since this is all we will have to judge the quality of the fit and finish . To keep the thread to a manageable size I ask that you only post two (2) pictures per person please .
4 - A panel of judges will choose the top 5 pens in each contest and the final 3 will be chosen by an open poll .
5 - Prizes will be awarded for first , second and third places .
A word about SAFETY . Modifying pen kits require some skills not normally required in making a stock pen kit . Always think about what you are doing and if it don't seem safe then don't do it without checking on the safety of the process . While we want to see some wild modifications we want you to complete your pen without incident or accidents . PLEASE play safe !!!
Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have .
Now let's see some wild Cigar pens !!!
