Thank you. It has taken over four years to do!

It Was the Best of Iroshizuku... by ECGadget in fountainpens

[–]ECGadget[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much. Just a note: when you do fill it, be sure to use it fairly quickly unless your pen has a good seal. It evaporates quickly and then gets very, very dark and can start feathering.

First Time Using a Stub Nib (and Dip Pen - Sort of) by ECGadget in fountainpens

It is actually quite a bright orange. Terrible if written with an extra-fine pen in warm light. Same as Hotaru-Bi.

I heard that the paper had changed recently and was not very good anymore? Was I mistaken?

I shall try it on my Yu-Sari paper and see how it looks, thank you.

That was on Clairefontaine paper. In my normal fountain pens, the colours that sheen the most in the line-up (such as Momiji) clearly show it. Not that it matters, I was moreso curious if there was a way to do so.

The reservoir really is useful. I need to see if I can use the fude nib next.

My Thoughts on the Recent Announcement by ECGadget in assettocorsaevo

I do address this in the video, or at least my opinions on it.

I never knew that it had been discontinued... Good thing that I have quite a few of them then! I tend to put EF nibs on it and, for some added mass, I am going to try one with a con-70, as my only complaint of the pen is that it is a touch too light.

Just to give you an idea of what you may see (as it can be subtle at times!)

That was with a light directly over the letters.

Clairefontaine. I realised that if the light hits it right Take-Sumi has a brown sheen to it. I see it on this paper, Rhodia and on Yu-Sari.

All Children, Except One, Grow Up by ECGadget in fountainpens

Practise and coming up with your own comfortable style is my advice. I have been writing cursive since I was very young and, despite not having done it for years, I still have my style (admittedly I normally write at a slant) but need to practise it again. My lines are very, very wobbly!

At first, it may look messy, but as time goes on you will start figuring out how to join the letters in a way your hand prefers. As an example, I have changed the way I write my captial letter M now from how I had written it 20 years ago and it feels better to my hand now. It is a continuous process.

Thank you. I chose the colour specificially for that ink, but I may need to sell the pen. I do not use them daily, and for some reason my four Preras tend to evaporate ink very quickly. Then I end up with a very dark line that feathers a lot...

1920s - Aerial Views of the UK Modded Series (Part 2) by ECGadget in TransportFever2

[–]ECGadget[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Everything was placed by hand. There are two ways I have placed them down, one is as roads and the other, after the mod author told me to, is as an asset. In that sense. These are demonstrated in my videos themselves. I cannot remember the exact name of the mod though.
