    1) Gather your materials.


    2) Push a BIC Clic Stic barrel onto the round thingy inside of the Keityo/ColorTwin/Miffy&Melanie caps. If you then lightly tap the end of the BIC Clic Stic barrel with the Keityo/ColorTwin/Miffy&Melanie cap flat on the grould, the piece should snap right out and be stuck in the end of the BIC Clic Stic Barrel. Do this to both Keityo/ColorTwin/Miffy&Melanie caps.


    3) Take the Zebra Telescopic large platic tube and cut 2 sections off of it about 1.5cm or so. Excess can just be shaved off if necessary. Discard the larger piece and keep the two sections.


    4) Connect the two Uniball Signo tips at the bases. There should be no seam and no rattling. The connection should be firm. Use superglue if necessary.


    5) Cut the Profile/Anyball grips as shown. More clearly, from the end with the large section you should count 3, cut, count 3 more, then cut again, leaving the last section to have 5 sections. Discard the middle 3 sections and keep the outer 3 sections.


    6) Gently push the 5 sectioned piece of Profile/Anyball grip into the open end of the cap. 2 sections should be hidden while the other 3 are showing. Repeat with the other cap and the other grip sections.


    7) Gently hammer in the tip combinations into the grip and cap combinations. DO NOT hammer too hard or the cap will break. only enough for the tips to be firmly stuck in there.


    8) Slide on the sections of 3 grips that you kept on to both caps as shown.


    9) Slide on the Pilot Dr. Grip grip sections over everything else so that they meet the 3 section grips as shown.


    10) Put each of the caps on either end of the Crayola Supertip body and you have just made the Mirror-Tip Mod!

    hey, that's kinda cool. I like how it's made.

    Looks heavy, but nice. good mod. I'd make it if i didnt have to do all that cutting.

    For all you people who say this is like a tornado mod, that is totally incorrect. If anything it is similair to a pirat ks, although with a thicker body and caps.

    y r people gettin so serious about this
    people see different things
    some may see it like a tornado mod (just the looks)
    some may not
    its an opinion
    so just let it go

    a few questions huh.gif how do you make it writable? just...stick a bic ink tube in as a 1sided pen..or what? and second thing, are you sure the plastic tube is from a zebra telescopic? i've bought a few of those and i've never seen any plastic tubes in them. are we talking about these? http://www.gtluscombe.com/images/24236.jpg
    great mod tho, i like it cool.gif might make 1 when i got the time

    I like how the grips look in the caps but essentially it's a KT/ST with spare parts.

    yea, just make it like you would a simple KT bictory (cred: K4S)

    there is a tube if you take apart the pen completely. its inside the smooth metal part of the pen.

    haha that name sounds so cool..
    I might want to consider making this mod smile.gif now to trade for CT caps. =.=
    Is it possible to make it somehow lighter?

    Ok, that's just bullshit. This mod shows a new way to connect, and conceal/place tips in the cap. Your mod was just putting tips at each end of the MX and calling it an impact mx variation. I'm not saying you're a bad modder or anything, but adding tips isn't new, adding weight isn't new. What's new here is how the tips are connected and how the caps are prepared. That's why this mod is getting good reviews.

    Anyways: great mod, Guitrum. I would make it if i wasn't so lazy.

    Date: Fri, Nov 13 2009 02:37:55

    I actually have all the parts for this pen (minus telescopic, barrel+tape WHATEV~) but I don't think I'll be making it.

    It looks way heavy. fusion marker is heavy enough smile.gif

    ya know, this mod is kinda a kool idea and all, but it's basically a KT with different tips and body...
