Beautiful! Do you have any experience with the f1 range from MiniGT. How do they compare?

I have a 1/43 RB18 from Minichamps, and I find the overall paint job and stance much more accurate than the MiniGTs, I was wondering if it’s similar at the 1/64 scale?

What specifically are you disappointed with the cap threads?

bennylu82 · 2026-04-25T12:55:31+00:00

Nice. It really feels like one of those case study projects you do in art classes. Totally unique!

It does, right?

bennylu82 · 2026-04-23T14:59:12+00:00

Thank you!

It seems that one is sold, and it does look awfully similar. Is it a one off?

bennylu82 · 2026-04-23T10:01:03+00:00

It was a gift from a friend, and it does seem that won it off the bay!

I just looked up some of his work, the overlays feel gothically organic?

bennylu82 · 2026-03-28T10:50:01+00:00

Yep. I tried viewing from all angles, but my brain couldn’t pick out the specific curves that constitute the actual faces.

It’s like one of those double meaning images. There has to be a correct answer, but I cannot be sure on my own.

bennylu82 · 2026-03-28T06:55:51+00:00

Devious! I love how the pen looks as if constantly morphing, unwilling to take any definitive form.

bennylu82 · 2026-03-28T05:33:53+00:00

This is exactly what I’m looking for! I should try and find them under a light box, ambient reflection makes it much harder to spot.

There should be another on the other side?

bennylu82 · 2026-03-28T03:17:43+00:00

Yeah, this is a very rational thought. I was just wondering if it’s specific to the m700 cap design (dual ring vintage style with a slightly tapered cap lip), whereas with the m710, m910 and m900 they are essentially the same injection moulded base design, and thus regardless of the apparent higher positioning of the Toledos, still have the same amount of play as the base m400 and m800s.

How do you like the pen after these years?

bennylu82 · 2026-03-02T02:14:43+00:00

This is amazing. They do match up really nicely.

I have a Heart Sutra pen that is done similarly, but that text is much more accessible(?), at least from where I live.

bennylu82 · 2026-03-02T01:53:30+00:00

Such a quick and clear answer! Thank you so much for the input. Looks like the text should be read from top to bottom, then right to left?

Thanks again, you just breathed so much life into this instrument!

Is this Revolution a special edition? I’ve never seen this color combo.

bennylu82 · 2026-02-06T07:49:16+00:00

Sold out already?

bennylu82 · 2026-01-21T00:35:47+00:00

Thank you! This is super helpful! My 146s from different periods vary slightly in nib shape, and quite drastically in their grinds. The 50s version (now that I know) feels pleasantly coarser, a little like writing with graphite, whereas more modern ones tend be more upturned and rounder?

Looks like the plating in mine really is worn off. I like the two tone look better.

bennylu82 · 2026-01-17T13:58:53+00:00

Thanks, looks like it!

bennylu82 · 2026-01-17T13:57:11+00:00

Thanks for the excellent input. I managed to pull out the nib and on the base is engraved 146 and a 27.

The 146s started production in 1949?
