    Okay no-one requested a tut but I don't care cos I like to share ideas ever if they don't want to be heard sleep(1).gif
    Before we get started, I'll explain the name.

    J - just
    A - another
    G - G
    E - 3
    M - mod
    Jagem = just another G-3 mod smile.gif. Okay lets start!

    Name: Jagem mod
    Length: 19.5cm
    weight = ~SEVEN mod
    MMT = Slightly less than SEVEN mod
    Price: $17 more or less
    COG = COP

    Step 1.
    Get your shits! You'll need to buy:

    1x G-3
    3x HGG's
    2x HGR
    1x Airblanc
    1x Signo

    The parts that you actually need are:

    All of G3 minus the grip
    3x HGG grips
    2x HGG tips
    1x Airblanc
    2x HGR tips
    1x Signo tip


    Step 2.
    File the G3, get rid of the back plug thing and also get rid of the rubber thing in the cap. Dremals (sp?) are great for this but I think you can use nail files or sand paper.


    Step 3 (the back cap).
    Put the signo tip in the cap followed by an HGR tip (70% concealed by HGG grip) and the HGG grip. Use the back of the G3 to stick it in all the way. Pretty fricken easy.


    Step 4.
    For the front you'll have to use 1 full HGG and about 2cm of another HGG grip. Slide on you drip pattern up until you get to the G3 tip. Cut the airblanc grip into thirds (trust me... this grips a bitch to put on) and put one third on the grips you put on.


    Step 5.
    Do whatever you can to make the two HGG tips and the HGR tip stick to each other. I cello tape the point of 1 HGG and screw the next one of, cello tape the next HGG tip and the screw on the HGR tip. After that, I wrap them all in a layer of cellotape for extra hold. After I have that combo done, I wrap the G3 tip with cello tape and then screw on the combo of tips. I the cello tape the compo to the G3 tip for extra hold (yes, that's a shit load of tape >.>)


    Step 6.
    Slide on the rest of the HGG grips and then put the two other airblanc pieces on. Slide the airblancs to the front and that's it.

    Throw in an insert and you're done.

    Here are mine:


    BTW: Yes, I changed the green and blue one. I put a bit of white paper in the back and used a white HGG after making the pics for the tut wink.gif

    Have fun
    PS: diagonal grip cut are VERY hard for the mod... seriously. The pink and blue one took ages to get right @.@

    Like your tushix g3, the front looks kind of messed up...

    EDIT: overexaggerating on the diagonal cut a bit?

    Honestly... it looks kinda ugly... its not a real clean mod... just sloppy looking :/

    haha, I tried to make it clean. As for complaining about the front NA, have you seen some Key3 mods xD. Also what about the diagonal grip cut? What was I exaggerating huh(1).gif ?

    Just saying that diagonal cuts aren't so bard as you make them sound.

    Anyways... Maybe try making it so that you don't cut the airblanc grip? Kind of like a saizen g3?

    Oh I see. I guess cos it was my first diagonal cut I made sound too hard tongue.gif xD.

    You don't have to cut the grip. I just recommended it.

    Well, I probably won't make it due to the Immense difficulty of getting an airblanc on an hgg grip, as well as it uses 3 grips.
    Seems like a saizen, but cheaper.

    I don't really see why everyone is so put off by the whole airblanc-over-hgg thing. Its really not too hard

    Just put a skewer (or something similar) lengthwise through the airblanc grip and keep pulling at it until its sufficiently wide. Wet the hgg grip and slide the airblanc over

    Anyway, nice mod

    The airblanc is thinner than the hgg grip.
