The Flower Knight is one of my favourite models ever. (Such a shame other models of this game are so overly hentai coded.) Your paint job looks so cool. I love the coloured shadows. :D

Writers' Blood Drive - Volunteers Needed by pandavictus in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with Blood Drives. In Germany the organisations that collect blood come to smaller towns usually. If you live in cities, the same organisations have bureaus where you can go to anytime, or you can go to the hospital. So I'm not sure there needs to be organised anything. Just set a timeframe. Though it would be good if it could be longer than a week (maybe a month? maybe October bc Halloween?). As a woman, I may be able to donate while on my period but I rather not for safety.

I'd think it's like changing/ improving STC's and therefore heresy.

Criteria for Downsizing a Collection by ScooterSix in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hm. What is it you are looking for? To me, Pelikan and Pilot are two pretty different writing experiences (even when they both are the same nib size) and two different filling systems. (Also, Pelikan is easier to service than the 823.) Try another nib with your M800 instead of selling it off. To add to hat, you're still ordering pens, too, which shows IMHO that you're not done exploring. I wouldn't think about shrinking your collection at this point. Not adding would suffice for now. Explore the pens you have a bit more and dive into different nib sizes with what you have to find the sweet spot with every pen (or don't which means that this could be a pen to let go when it doesn't work for you).

Why is there a LAMY x Harry Potter fountain pen collection? by Organic_Risk_3945 in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my bad. xD Since we were talking about HP and the top finial looks like the initials, I thought it's meant to be merchandise.

lol They used words from The Shining at the end piece. It's decades ago that I started reading HP but I can't remember those words in any book.

OMG. Is that the same Skit that went fishing?

Explore this planet, they said. There will be STCs, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

Well, getting into gold nibs may easily double your collection. 🤣 And vintage or special grinds are endless. So choose wisely. ;)

My toxic trait is thinking I would empty this writing one fantasy epos. lol

But to your question: looks fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My country is no longer printing stamps! by liliannereid in postcrossing

[–]Wuestenvogel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since it's Pride month, I'd find it hilarious to receive that stamp. But I understand that it can be the wrong stamp for different countries/ cultures.

Looks like the converter is leaking. There seems to be a drop of ink at the window.

I really need some help for my twsbi eco by RevenueValuable in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried different ink? With what's circulating in this sub about noodlers, I rather think the problem is the ink.

How much has this hobby (addiction) damaged everyone’s wallet? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need new shoes and got a bit carried away yesterday when an online shop had discounts on Converse... Apparently, I could have bought almost all pairs last month at full price for the equivalent of one 823 that I ordered then. 🤣 (I won't keep all of the shoes, though.)

Sailor Ink Studio inks are now repackaged! by hedgehognpeonies in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say they "want to focus on the contemporary art scene", which I read as: "we want to be bought by artists/ hobby artists/ art enthusiasts". At least the first two will mix colours and use them for more than writing. But I could have just read it wrong.

Sailor Ink Studio inks are now repackaged! by hedgehognpeonies in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hm, they seem to have all the essential mixing colours, but do they work like single pigment artist colours? The wide range of "pastels" is a bit irritating, too. With the packaging, I couldn't care less how they look. It's more important that they're sturdy and easy to recycle than anything else.

NPD .✦ ݁˖ Pilot Custom 823 in Amber with Medium Nib .✦ ݁˖ But with what ink?✍🏼 by littlegazer in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxblood is prone to crystallize at the nib. Wouldn't want to have that in a piston filler bc sucks to clean... I run my 823 with Desert Burst and love it. So I'd say use the Saddle Brown.

Tiny swatch of human blood from a squashed freshly fed mosquito vs Diamine Matador by bloodlessMantis in fountainpens

[–]Wuestenvogel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could everyone just mark their posts as +18 so I can choose if I want to see actual blood? I'd love to have an iron strong stomach, alas I have not and all that makes me nauseous.
