    Hey guys, I was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of how to make a Japanese Pencil Mod and where to get the parts from.
    I have not yet found a tutorial yet, which is quite depressing and ive tried penwish dot com but they do not have pencils like that. I live in Australia, just for shipping reference.
    The mod on looking for looks like this:


    Thanks

    Nice. That's a picture of my friend's mod lol.

    You need a colour pencil, a red a blue one, and pencil caps. Can be bought from stationary stores or art stores or whatever.

    The pencil caps come in different colours. Sometimes they're red and blue like the one below but the more common ones are silver.

    It's very easy to make. No tut required really. Just put some glue on the ends of the pencil and put the caps on.

    Review: I think the mod is awesome. Light and long. Doesn't take long to get used to the feel. Maybe the length needs some time to adjust to. Other than that, I think it's a nice mod.

    Over here in singapore, we have a japanese store that sells both the caps and pencils so we can get loads.

    I think Savian got them here lol.

    Wrong section btw XD

    EDIT: I think penwish used to stock them but removed them quite awhile ago.

    "So... someone came to my blog by searching "How to make a "japanese pencil mod"" into google...

    Pencil... 2 pencil caps... stick the caps on each side....

    Wow, takes a genius to figure how it's made from a picture doesn't it? XD

    Here's a pic for those who don't know (and I bet not many people do)

    (that picture)

    Half red, half blue pencil... and red/blue pencil caps... Simplicity at it's sake ^^"

    That's on my blog... if u look AROUND the picture then I'm not really sure why u need to post it here XD
    And no worries, it's not like my pictures are copyrighted
    Well, Glamouraz told me about it smile.gif ^^ and yes, that's the same pencil mod as the one i went to daiso and bought with u

    Yea, the JPM has a nice feel... the body is thin (pencil, go figure) but it's ok since the weight is light

    EDIT: U know, u don't have to find a half blue half red pencil...

    There's plenty of other ways to make them, any pencil can be used... Still looks quite good... ^^
