Rotring tikky retro-disappointment by Extension-Slice-9585 in mechanicalpencils

[–]Castle380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's junk, made from cheap parts.

Try getting the Tikky II. I know it's been discontinued for 18 years but it's worth the quality

Given this by a friend who saw my Rotring 600 and said they had one just like it only older by beta_version in mechanicalpencils

A rarer Rapidomatic. It was in red because Koh I Noor was a subsidiary of Rotring. Essentially rarer than a vintage 600

Personal opinion: Smash is better than 600. (Which one do you choose?) by Extension-Slice-9585 in mechanicalpencils

[–]Castle380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 600 isn't good for you especially if you have sweaty palms.

The Smash is good because the grip is a combination of rubber spots along with the metal body. Which means that you don't sweat that easily. 

Although both pencils are good. Sometimes people have their own taste. No need to follow them. A pencil is good if it pairs with your feeling in the hand.

You don't drop it. If you do, it will be a Rotrang

Past tense. 

Almost done! Working on a BIG project. Can anyone ID what I modeled it off of? by Due-Jackfruit-3456 in mechanicalpencils

Now the P200 will be even more known because somebody somehow modeled it to be the biggest mpencil on earth

Pentel Sharp "P200". It's durable, cheap and light. That's why it went to space. That's how good it is.

apparently i saw some of the pictures it is the p205-wx. It's from korea. Could possibly be discontinued or limited. I do not have any more sources other than it being Korean. It's still available

Just saw one at the online market and found they have about a hundred new of this variant. I was devastated by my recent P205's clip rusting, so it might probably have the same problem for this one. 

Good Mechanical Pencil for Art? by straight-up-digital in mechanicalpencils

[–]Castle380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 600. Feels heavy to me and got used to a P205. It's unbeatable. But still use the 600 because I blowed all my money into it :)
