    Hi I'm trying to make the Comssa Mod, but I don't have any Dong-A computer sign pens.
    What is another replacement for those pens? (pens that doesnt need to be bought online)

    Well you can always trade for Bellcolors.
    Those are an excellent sub.

    They sell a sub for cartoon comssas at Daiso.

    I too would like to know a good replacement for the dong-a computer sign pen.

    Just order from Penwish...It's only $1.40 for a double capped one.

    But if you really can't, just use a black Pentel S360 Color Pen. It has the exact same body texture as a real comssa, but the caps are a lot different.

    From the way I see it, there are NO subs for Dong-A Sign Pens otherwise w/e your sub is, it would be a completely different pen

    Monami 153's


    &
    I'm wrong? huh.gif

    But G2's and Rsvps can also be used to subbed, Never hurd of bics being used as a sub, maybe if you wrapped alot of tape arround the barrel...

    @dust_kid. Wow...what you just said basically meant that there are no subs for the Dong-A Computer Sign Pen. There is no such thing as a sub that is 100% similar to the original pen, hence the word "substitute" Subs are supposed to be different to the actual pen in some way

    @shoeman. No you arent wrong happy.gif I'm just exxagerating dust_kid's comment on how subs aren't supposed to be EXACTLY the same as the real pen

    Tombows ABTs? They sell them at art stores. Like...Pearl. In other words... just make a tombow mod.

    No way? When I went to Daiso there was no cartoon comssa sub?
    Picture? I saw a marker with a colored transparent comssa like cap (has that stub) but i dont think it couldve been a sub....

    No, that's not what I meant. A sub has to be close/exactly the same. Bellcolours are a suitable sub because it is almost exactly the same. Round Stic is not similar enough to be called a sub.

    And wasn't there already a thread for Dong-A Computer Sign Pens?

    I dont have a lot of pens made for pen spinning, just rsvp and g2's. I also have no hold of hgg's

    There's Penwish...And relating back to your question about substitutes, if you can get a hold of Rushon's, those are also substitutes.

    Oh, in that case, you should check out any Asian accessory/stationery stores in you area. They'll bound to have something worth modding...

    It depends on where you live...A really widespread franchise of such stores is called Daiso. If you live near Santana Row, there's a store called Maido that carries a huge variety of Japanese pens. Just take a look around your area.

    what i can say here is the dong-a aqua sign pen XD.
    but obviously if u cant get dong-a computer sign pen, u cant get the aqua sign pen laugh.gif .
    and yes, monami audena have similar thickness with comssa i think, just check them out at penwish.


    Is the Monami Audena even sold on Penwish?

    Oh, he wants subs that he can get IN A STORE, not online.

    you could make a clear comssa with a ballsign or just use a sakura y & c fabric mate as a regular comssa body sub and le plume II for comssa cap subs

    p.s. all teh penz i just listed can be found at joanne fabrics

    i saw a monami signpen in morning glory at the same time i saw a dong-a signpen
    the monami one is skinnier and the cap is a bit different
    you could use it as a comssa mod sub (ie. double cap the whole thing), but you wont be able to ues it for msxa's etc.

    can supertip be subbed?

    Date: Tue, Jun 2 2009 14:36:36

    Supertip body is too thick,look at how BusterCYL is modded.
    You'll get a long 'Comssa' Mod.
    No other barrel is as smooth as the original Comssa itself.

    There are some of those random marker pens. I think HGG tips fit in them. Sign pens are really cheap on JetPens.com. There only like $6 for 12
