    Hello everybody ! =D


    Today, I present you a beautiful mod, a mix between the Badtzu Mx and the Near Mx. It has been created by Hybrya, of FPSB :


    The DragonFly Mod



    (Montage by Croquette, of FPSB.)


    Name : DragonFly Mod
    COG : Center of pen
    Length : 20,5 / 21 cm
    Weight : 13gr
    Style : Single Sided
    Writing mechanism : /
    Ink-type : /
    Estimated-Cost : $10/$12

    Materials list:

    -2 Flexgrip ultra (body) ;
    -1 RSVP (grip + cap) ;
    -1 empty ink cartridge or a lead pencil ;
    -1 Unibal Signo (cap) (See here.) ;
    -1 Hybrid Gel Grip (tip) ;
    -1 or 2 Pilot G2 (grips) ;
    -Another RSVP’s grip (Or HGG, but that's not better, and you must cut the grip) (Attention on colors, it’s to make keep heading of the RSVP’s cap) ;
    -1 Criterium bic matic (tip).


    Spoiler:


    1°/ The before part :

    1- Take the Signo's cap, then has the help of a stalk in metal, push the sort of backcap of the hood to make it go away.
    2- Seize up with it the first one RSVP's grip, then that of G2 cut in 2/3 of the part smooth this part may be so long (good luck tongue.gif).

    3- Push the criterium's tip in the signo's cap, then push it with the system of cliquage of G2 which you will leave inside.

    4- Add stripes in front of the Flexgrip's body, then push the Signo's cap on the body and screw the HGG's tip on the criterium's tip.


    2°/ The body :

    1- Take Flexgrips Ultra and remove tips and back part.
    2- Cut one of both Flexgrip at the level of the last one stripe, perfectly STRAIGHT AHEAD.
    3- Cut the second body of FlexGrip at the level of his last one stripe and by means of a lead pencil/color or an empty ink cardridge, made hold both bodies together.


    3°/ The Back Part :

    1-Take RSVP's grip or HGG's grip and place it behind the mod.
    2-Put the RSVP’s cap by the top of RSVP’s or HGG’s grip (here, I used a cap of some felt-tip).
    3- Add grip's stripes on the body, add of the patafix or a HGG's tip to balance the mod.


    Here is a beautiful DragonFly Mod !

    Advantages :

    -FlexGrip’s body ;
    -Beautiful mod Ü ;
    -Surface of spin is variable ;
    -A lot of available colors ! Flexgrips Ultra can be fake with Flexgrips Elite, and you can use Color RSVPs !

    Inconvenience :

    -A bit hard to make this mod (mostly for put the RSVP's grip on Signo's cap. ^^'').

    now THIS is something I gotta try and make.

    However, I have a few questions:
    1) What Signo are you referring to? Signo DX? Signo.. Broad?! or.. Signo RT??!!? There are just so many Signos out there that there is a need for clarification.
    2) What can we sub with "Criterium bic matic"?? I see its only a plastic tip thats needed so can we use any other plastic tip?
    3) To make it writeable do we just keep the original flexgrip tip and the ink inside? and pull the Signo cap to reveal the ink tip?

    BTW, really nice looking mod. I love the feel of flexgrip too xD

    PrinceXD~

    That's funny that you want to make this mod. =D

    For reply to your questions :

    1) That's true, I haven't precise this point. The Signo which is use is this Signo : See here. I will be precise in the tutorial. wink.gif
    2) I don't know, really. That's a pen which is everywhere in France, I was thinking that was the same in other countries. =/ Maybe can you fake the tip with the front part of a RSVP ? I really don't know. dunno.gif
    3) No ! ^^ The english tutorial of the writeable DragonFly mod will be post on UPSB if the DragonFly mod has success. Otherwise, it would do just anything. So, make publicity ! xD
    I think that this tutorial will be created in June or July. Wait a few weeks. ;D

    I'm happy that you like this mod. If you want, search its modder on FPSB, Hybrya. He's a very very good modder. Oo

    Yo troll, I heard you like trolling so we put a troll to troll you so you can troll a troll while a troll trolls you, troll.


    Honestly, this mod doesn't look to bad, but the grey body is kinda ugly; black flexgrip body would look a lot better, an I think you should use a black G2 grip instead of the rsvp, since rsvp's break and are ugly.

    @Oats ===> Blocky ? I don't understand... The back isn't crooked. Yes, loose. =p

    @PrinceXD ===> I don't think the back is too long... That's just because the cap isn't push on the body.

    @neix ===> What ?! i don't understand... Are you trolling, as Nation say ? ^^''

    @Nation ===> Yes, a black body might be more cool than a grey body. =) (Hybrya had not black body when he has this mod created. XD But, as that's writing in the tutorial, a lot of colors is possible ! I maybe will make me a skyblue and black DragonFly mod. =D)

    "I think you should use a black G2 grip instead of the rsvp, since rsvp's break and are ugly." I haven't understand too. May you repeat simplier than that, please ?

    I just made this. The hardest thing for me was getting the piece out of the signo cap. Other then that, nothing else was really that hard about this mod. Overall, I like the feel of the flexgrip and it spins well, too. However, I used a signo in the RSVP cap and a signo on the front and no other tips.

    Overall, good mod and got me to use up some of these flex grip bodies I had sitting around. Plus, it looks amazing. Now just to find a way to make it write.

    The version which writing already exist. The tuto will be post on June/July, maybe. wink.gif ou can see it on FPSB tutorial (link at the end of the tuto).

    @davidguy ===> Hmm, me, I find that this mod is beatiful, as up close that far away. (I don't think that my English is very good, I hope you will understand me. ^^)

    The rsvp grip looks bad when stretched, and they rip.
    so use a piece of black G2

    Oh, okay! ^^
    Yes, but maybe with a cut HGG grip...? Personally, I prefer it with a grip of RSVP, but it's true that it is tight and it is possible that tore a little.
