    Ok, so my first tutorial on upsb... I hope I won't get flamed ;p . Sorry for my English, but I think I'm not that bad at this language and you'll understand my tutorial :D .
    A few persons wanted to see tut on this mod so here it is. Mod is really simple to do and you don't really need great modding skills to make it; spins awesome though.

    STATS
    CoG = CoP
    Length: 20cm
    Weight: I can't weigh it, but it's just a bit lighter than KT.
    Style: Double-sided, symetrical, non-writing
    Estimated cost: ~12$

    NEEDED PENS
    2x Pelikan SuperPirat
    2x Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip
    2x Faber-Castell Grip Matic
    2x Crayola SuperTips
    1x(2x if you want same grips) Pilot Dr Grip

    NEEDED MATERIALS


    Spoiler:

    1 – SuperPirat body (1 whole, 2 pieces, each 2,6cm long – all cleared)
    2 – HGG grip (x2)
    3 – Dr Grip grip (x2)
    4 – Grip Matic tip (x2)
    5 – SuperTips backplug (x2)
    6 – Grip Matic clicker(?) (x2)


    Spoiler:

    1. Cut SuperTips backplug where shown on the picture (just after those ‘bumps’) and take this flat part.


    2. Tape backplug so that it stays tightly in SuperPirat’s bodies (one 2,6cm part and one whole body). Backplug should poke out from whole SP body for 8mm.


    3. Take clicker from Grip Matic, cut it to 1,7cm length. Tape it so, that you can screw Grip Matic tip on it and it stays tightly in SP 2,6cm body piece. Put clicker with tip into this body piece.




    4. Repeat points 1-3 on the other side of pen.

    5. Put HGG grips on each side and Dr Grip grips onto HGG grips. If you want you can also put on it anyball grips.


    Done!




    If any part is of tutorial is unclear to you, just ask, I'll try to explain it :)

    Seems like a waste of pirat body.
    Probably could sub for a ST, especially since you already use the supertip marker..

    ST body is much wider than SP, so spinning this with ST body would be completely different (and probably worse).

    I mean the parts that are under the grip, especially since you already use 2 supertips.
    Takes off a whole pen..
    IDK, I made a mod similar to this once, I still spin it a lot, It's very cool.
    This is a very nice looking mod, especially considering that it is your first mod smile.gif

    the fact that its under a grip doesnt make the supertip any less wide facepalm.gif

    For body consistency, and the hgg grip to fit properly it needs to be the same.
    If anything, you COULD try subbing it with a comssa or bellcolor.

    I never said it did, But why waste a pirat body like that?

    look, you could make it with an ST but it'll be different... he doesn't like the fell of an ST body, and can easily get super pirates, so that's what he used... I don't really think it's a waste~

    Anyway looks like a great mod :] I hope I could get some super pirates to try it... if not, I'll just try subbing it with a comssa or something ^^

    it's not my first mod, just my first tutorial here on upsb :P .
    anyway thanks guys for comments.
    btw, i think you could try subbing pirat with cartoon comssa - it's really similar, imo its body is even better than pirat, but i can buy pirats almost everywhere in Poland so that's why i used it ;p .

    I don't mean the body that you spin on, I love Super pirat Body.
    I mean the part under the grip, especially considering you already use a part of the ST body. Okay, ST is thicker and the grips would be a bit harder to get on, but it wouldn't make a difference in the long run...

    well, ahoy is rather simple and easy to make, so someone could already had similar idea, but I haven't seen your mod before so i think that mine isn't plagiary
