A little help..

[rayf6604]

Is there a pen kit that is slightly fatter than a standard slimline without turning a slimline more rotundly? How fussy a female can be She likes the slimline design turned flush with the fittings but says the slimline is not fat enough and didn't like the Sierra or Lucida as they are too fancy I've looked at the Streamline but I've not seen one to look at. Can anyone recommend a kit that can be turned flush with the fittings but that is plain in design and fatter than a slimline?

Look at the cigar kits.

Have you considered the comfort pen without the rubber grip

 

[Jim]

Use the slimline but make your own C/B Ray?

Streamline in black / white acrylic, 7mm as slimline most parts are interchangeable, the main difference being the slightly larger centre band

Streamline fits the bill

That's what I did on this one. Its a slimline in birch with a cocobolo centre band

Have I got the wrong idea? I thought Ray wanted a straight pen but with a larger diameter in a similar style.
Cigar fits the bill init?

Have you got a pic of one Brian?

Thanks for all the suggestions and photos so far chaps. I reckon Woody's idea of the Comfort without the rubber band might be the one I'm looking. Has anyone got a photo of the comfort pen?

Hi Ray,
I did a Cigar recently

 

[Woody]

If a photo dont come up Ray I will sort some out in the morning for you mine are all out in the Gallery

 

[Grump]

the only cigar pic I can find is a one piece mod mate I haven't made one for ages, they are not a kit I tend to do often, no demand for them here.
You can see from Don's pic that they are on a similar line as the slimline with a twist transmission and a larger pen in general.

There is the slimline Pro, I think they use a 8mmm tube by memory.

Here you go taken from the website.

So does the threaded slimline now you mention it Mark.
But it really is only a gnats cock bigger.
I can send you one if you fancy it Ray but I believe you turn on a mandrel init?
These things need a 5mm mandrel

Threaded slimline thats a new one.

 

[Dalboy]

This is one of those that I can't remember the name of. Maybe someone will recognise it. But I think it will suit the bill.



Here is a Cigar

 

[Dalboy]

This is the Comfort pen Woody is talking about

 

[wm460]

Very nice pens, I like those Cigar Elite's.

It may well be the same kit Mark I only know it as threaded slimline cos that what we called it when we did an order via Paul M, he could probably tell you more.
I got 10 and a mandrel I don't use still have 8 of em or was it 10 of each plating I can't remember.
There was quite a bit of discussion on the forums but I think it was when you were on walkabout, a search might bring up something.
I am sure I did a review on them, maybe I dreamt it.
