EDIT (12/6/08): NEW SUB FOR MP MECH. INSTEAD OF PhD!! I went to Daiso and found a 'double action' sort of pen. (pen, pencil; able to switch between the two) This is AWESOME because instead of buying the 7$ PhD, you can buy the $1.50 pen from Daiso. Here's a pic:

Hi, I'm Dori, and I proudly present my FIRST semi-tutorial called MP Namae mod v.2.
Umm since it is based off the Namae Mod, I give credit to the creater of it. (of whom I don't know >"<)
Oh and before I forget, PLEASE LET ME KNOW if I missed anything or if anything gets confusing; (maximum 10 pictures shown per topic was hard to comply to x.x) I'm new to making tutorials, and I want to clarify things as much as possible. >"< (criticism is more than welcome!) Thank you!
First off, here's how the final product looks like:
Looks just like the original Namae right?!
That's why I love it.
Spoiler:
It is v.2 because my v.1's mechanism required pushing a toothpick to advance the lead, which looked really bad. -.- As a result, I never put a tutorial for it. After I got some nice feedback from the kind upsb community, I've made a successful v.2, as well as recieving request for a tutorial for it. Now, the back cap is pushed to advance the lead, which gives it a more classic look.
Stats:
-Name: MP Namae Mod v.2
-COG: practically COP (.2 cm to the back; you won't even notice xD)
-Length: 19.5 cm
-Weight: Signo-tipped Ballsign > MP Namae mod v2 > Namae Mod (Sorry for such inaccurate weight, I'll get a more precise measurement in grams during my physics lab next week. >"<)
-Style: one side writable (yet 'double sided'?)
-Writing-Mechanism: mechanical pencil
-Ink-Type: ...0.5 lead? requires empty RSVP inktube, however.
-Estimated-Cost: Namae mod (~$6) + $12.50 (PhD Multi $7, RSVP $1, HGG $1.50, x2 Signo $1.50 ea) = $18.50
OR Namae mod (~$6) + $4 (NEW SUB - Double Action $1.50, RSVP $1, HGG $1.50, x2 Signo $1.50 ea) = $13

Pros:
-What can I say? It’s an MP!
-All parts can be bought IN AMERICA! (thanks to daiso!)
-Spins like a normal Namae.
-Semi-adjustable in length. (for personal liking)
-Custom color scheme. (grips)
Cons:
-Costs a lot. (mostly because of PhD multi)
-Too much ‘little adjusting’ here and there.
-Not able to add inserts.
-Too time consuming?
-------------------------------------------------
Q&A:
Q: The back cap keeps falling off, and when I add more tape to keep it on, the mechanism won’t work. What can I do to make it work?
A: Try taking off maybe half a layer of tape. If it still doesn’t work, twist the back cap little by little, and test if the mechanism works before twisting again. (if that makes sense xD)
Q: What do you mean by the ‘mp end’?
A: The ‘mp end’ is the namae cap with the ‘taped’ signo (2-3 layers). This is to prevent the signo from flying out when clicking the mechanism. The ‘mp end’ cap should be put in the FRONT of the namae body. In the tutorial, the cap with the red sailors will be the ‘mp end’ cap.
Q: How do you remove the HGG backplug from the HGG barrel?
A: First, strip the HGG/old HGR of everything. (tip, ink, cap) Then, take a full rsvp inktube and slip it through the HGG/old HGR barrel. Push, and the backplug should sort of 'click' out of place. From there, you can use your fingers or tweezers to pull the rest of the backplug out.
Q: That's not very short of a tutorial?
A: I'm sorry, but this is my first tutorial, and I didn't want to miss anything! >"<
Q: Why is the Q&A so short?
A: Ahh! I'm sorry again! It's my first tutorial, and not really experienced; so please, ask more questions! :] -

I actually will be thinking of making this mod
Out of all the new mods, this might be one of the best ones along with Guitrum's G3 mod -

Oh, very cool. Sadly, the only parts I'm missing are the namae back cap and a toothpick.
I'll make it once I get those.

well, i'm not sure if this works, but i think if you put the signo tip on the namae back cap and put that in the cap and attached to mechanism somehow that would work really well...i'm too lazy to try though, sorry..lol

Haha im not really sure what you mean, but do you mean retracting the tip only (like in a retractable comssa mod)?
That I've considered, but it didnt' look too nice because the namae back cap isn't made the same as the comssa cap. The signo tip would wobble a bit. :[ -
