Sigma (Dan's JR Gent Equivalent) Dressed in Black & White PR.

One little problems with the kit, the clip is a little too big for the cap so it doesn't sit square once pushed together.The cap isn't quite a tight interference fit as well so that adds to the problem of allowing the clip to move a little.

I made the bushes, however the clip end must have been a little small as I have overturned the clip end a little so that's my fault not the kit. :face:

Anyway I think this kit has allot to offer once that is put right along with bushes (oh and instructions..)..:thumbs:

Now I have finished this off I can now get to finishing the JR Gent Review..

Thanks to Dan for sending this kit out and letting me have a go at it and seeing what its like. The full review will be out soon so you will see how it fairs with the other pen kits.

I like the kit Eamonn and its good to highlight any problems to Dan early so that he can get on them. You've chosen a very nice blank for it and it fits very nicely with the colour of the kit but its not always easy when you have to make your own bushes and you've done a good job. :thumbs:

Wonderful blank, the kit looks good and well turned i may add,
i too do not use the JR gents due to poor quality issues in the past,
but this one looks a better quality

Good looking pen Eamonn, with a honest review :thumbs:
Sounds like once the teething troubles are sorted out the Sigma is going to be another good kit from Dan :banana:

I am sure Alan with his main occupation will appreciate as I do the colour scheme for your blank very rural and special.When your unbiased review comes out we will see how they stack up in your words.
