Alot, but the materials used could easily be found in your excess parts pile.
----------------------------------------------------

MATERIALS LIST

[Pens-Needed]
1HGG (Barrel)
1RSVP (grip and inktube, or similar sized grip / inktube [ your just cutting rings out of it] )
(2) RSVP retractable (1 Grip and 1 inktube 2 springs, Only need 2nd rsvp retractable for 2nd spring)
1G3 (cap)
1Anyball/Profile (grip)
1Dr.grip (Small section of grip)
1G2 (Barrel, small segment of grip & Retract mechanism)
1Zebra F301 (Eraser back cover)
1Signo (tip)
1Hi tec C (tip)

Tools:
Scotch Tape (clear clear clear)
Sand paper/file
Scissors/X-acto/X-s mod, for grip cut
Hacksaw For cutting G2 Barrel
-----------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler:

1.) Cut the G2 Barrel at 6 cm and sand flat to 5.8 cm

2.) Take the HGG Barrel, remove the colored back plug with an RSVP ink tube and sand/file the front down till it fits smoothly into the G2 barrel(as shown on the left side of the picture).
You may add inserts into both barrels now.

Preparing the Front.

3.)Cut 1 segment of g2 grip and slide it onto the back of the HGG barrel, followed by 2 segments of Anyball, 1 2cm long RSVP grip with a fancy cut,and 1 segment of anyball.
4.0Take your Hi-tec C tip and use scotch tape to secure it to the Back of the HGG barrel(remove the grip if you haven't already.). (to secure it even more you may sand down the back of the barrel very slightly so that the tips lip sticks onto it.)
5.) Put a 1 cm of RSVP grip over the hi tec C tip and the front part of the barrel, followed by a 1.2 cm segment of Dr.grip (preferably the front of the grip) over the tip and the grip.

Spoiler:

Cap and Retractable mech.

Insert the signo tip into the unclipped and nub sanded g3 cap followed by 1 mm of rsvp grip, then 3 mm of rsvp grip then 1 mm of rsvp grip then 2 mm of rsvp grip then 5 mm of rsvp grip then 1 G2 segment.
take 3 segments of profile grip and put it on over the cap.

Take the RSVP retractable ink tube and put 1 full spring on it, then cut the other spring in half (the picture only shows one spring), and put that on, place that into the body.

Cut 8.7 cm of RSVP inktube (with the tip)
& Wrap the back of it with scotch tape so it fits snuggly into the G2 clicker piece

Push out the plastic ring from the Zebra f301 eraser top and place it onto the g2 clicker peice, wrap a bit of tape arround that.(picture shows using an rsvp ink tube to push out the plastic inner ring from the metallic eraser cover)

Place it into the back cap ( the rRSVP inktube should already be in there) and wrap some clear scotch tape arround the back of the g2 body (to preference, the more tape the harder and sturdier the mech)

Put the cap on and test it out, the cap should have the ink tube perfectly out when pushed all the way down, and mark 1.2 cms from the back of the g2 barrel for how the cap should be when retracted. http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u324/sh...ture27-Copy.jpg

FAQ
How sturdy is the mech?
Very, seeing as their is bassicly no mechinism at all.

The weight you provided isn\'t very helpful.
The weight is a little more than an mx^2

How does it spin?
Well.

IT USES SO MANY PENS!
Yes, but many of the parts it uses are commonly used and are found left over.

Why is your FAQ so biased?
I'll add more questions as people ask them=]

THE HI TEC C TIP KEEPS SLIDING when the pen isn't retracted!?
I recommend sanding down he back of the hgg barrel a little bit so the Hi tec C tip's lip fits over it a little and cutting the spring inside the barrel a little shorter = ]

Can you give me a better idea of the weight of this mod?
Think, Ayatori weight-wise
---------

Pros: Very sturdy mechinism, Nice to spin with IMO Looks good IMO The front has the hard dr.grip grip over the soft grip, making it very ergonomic and comfortable to write with. Dr.grip grip makes it so that the grip cut doesn't interfere with spinning so theres a lesser chance of it breaking, Uses HGG barrel without any other HGG parts.

Cons: Uses many pens, a mediocre modding difficulty level, grip design cuts rip easily. The mechanism isn't "clickable" I made this mod. HGG barrel and G2 barrel makes a little crease in the center which may interfere with spinning as the HGG barrel is slightly smaller in circumference. HGG barrel with insert and g2 barrel with are strange looking as their diameters are different on the inside as well.

Add Pictures for each step.

Change the weight relation, its WAY too broad.

MX < Sho3mx < DR. KT is not accurate at all. Revise it please.

I apologize for the pictures =]
I'll go through it correct errors and make the tut more clear ^ _ ^

Ummm I like the mod because it is made out of parts that become left over = \ for example, HGG barrels, you use the tip and the grip, but then you have an extra barrel.
The Eraser capper, when you make a zebra f-301 mech pencil mod, you have an extra capper, now you can use it ^ _ ^
Stuff like that =]

looks like guitrums g3 mod a lot.
g2 back+g3cap+hgg front (okay guitrum uses g3, wich actually fits better).

I think using hgg is okay but well...i got more g3 bodys than g3 caps so its not using spare parts its just not using a spare g3 body:D

But the Mod looks nice, its not bad but id call it a variation of guitrum g3 for the ones who break many g3 bodys trying to file them down for firefly modXD
