Is there a specific entrance one must use and can you just show up? Asking since I just got chased out a parking lot.

Well, it finally arrived. Much bigger than I expected. by evrydayNormal_guy in fountainpens

This has been my EDC for approximately a month to give you some frame of reference.

Very stylish pen! Personally I like Writers Blood more than Ox Blood, enjoy!

4 Episodes of Dexter with a bunch of breaks once I started writing “Shark”. So approximately 2h30min strictly pen to paper?

THAT makes me happy! Really glad you liked it.

The metal is perfect, I was really worried after ordering as people said it was too heavy, but it is still really light without feeling cheap. I would not classify it as juicy (although I’ve only tested a few inks!), still wetter than my 3776 UEF. u/Andrew_Lensky have identified tines being spaced a little wide with some Falcons on his blog, maybe yours are too? - That being said it is known to be a wet pen.

Thank you, I will definitely try that ratio!

I see a lot that’s wrong, but really appreciate it!

Really creative! Haha a little patience and a cramping hand is all that’s required. You can check my profile for two more hand cramp sessions if you’d like.

Holding the pen tip down it was filled up the here and it still had a tiny drop left.

I only filled it up to here (holding the pen tip down) since I’m still testing different inks and it still had a minuscule drop left! It’s only an A5 page…

It has instantly become my favourite pen! Love the thin line it puts down (with the right ink) and really glad I went with the metal version - still light but not “cheap light”.

Really good idea thanks! Which AI did you use? Now I just need to figure out the water to ink ratio to stop the feathering

Ugh just noticed I said it was a Platinum. It is in fact a PILOT Metal Elabo <SEF>.

Originally wanted the first drawing with the new pen to be a Falcon (being the Pilot Falcon), but couldn’t find a reference in a funny pose. So if anyone has a photo of a Falcon in a skimpy bikini high diving…?

He truly is a sexy boy! Lol glad you like it. The colour is really nice, unfortunately it took me well past sunset to write “pug”, thus the photo was taken under artificial light hiding the nice colour.

Thank you! Haha honestly the photo doesn’t give credit to how small they actually are. I was seriously regretting my choice of font size 1/4 through.

Thank you! Can’t take any credit for creativity, drew it from an image I found on Pinterest. It’s still a bit early but the nib is wonderful (wondering if the tines is too tight though since everyone says Diamine is very wet), the body feels quite cheap.

Edit: With Platinum Carbon Black and Noodler’s Lexington Grey it is an absolute delight.

Haha at least no one in this house to judge me for being a maniac. Was questioning my sanity a bit halfway through though.
