I joined the forum a couple of days ago - thanks to those who gave me a welcome. After several dummy runs and many errors with the new kit I managed to produce a pen. I’ll post a photo when I’m allowed. I won’t talk about the completely wasted pen kit that followed!

While I’m here could someone tell me the difference between a slimline and a streamline pen please? Are there any pros or cons for either?

4 slims and 1 streamline

Nowt wrong with that mate,
Keep your first and look back on it as you progress on your journey, you'll be able to see little improvements along the way (I can't tell you how many kits and blanks I have buggered on my journey)

And Yes bigger bushes for streamlines👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
