First Bullet Click

[qquake2k]

I finished my first Bullet Click pen (Berea Hardwoods version) tonight, but I made a mistake when I assembled it. Can you spot what I did wrong?

Having never made a bullet pen I can't say what you've done wrong assembling it Jim, but it looks like you've made a fine job of turning it to me

 

[Penpal]

Never made this kit so speak freely I am guessing not too many of us have. The plot thickens.

Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. It's obvious to me, but maybe it's just my OCD. The blank is pearlized green, and is dark green on two sides, while the pearlization shows on the opposite two sides. Normally when I assemble a pen with a blank like this, I orient the clip over one of the dark sides, so the pearlization shows at 90 degrees to the clip. The way I assembled this one, the clip covers one of the pearlization areas. I wasn't paying attention when I pressed the clip assembly into the body. Unfortunately, I can't see any way of dissassembling it. So I'll have to live with it this way.

Oh, and thank you everyone for the compliments!
