    [EDIT] Sorry about the confusion i meant it to ba a variation of the Grip Aviaire mod in the style of bonkura.[EDIT]
    Many people pester me about using my Grip Aviaire, saying it was too long and too heavy. So I decided to create a variation that had the same level of momentum but was shorter and lighter. I made the "Grip Aviaire Bonkura Style".

    This is a fairly simple change that was influenced by the famous Banz and Bonkura Mods(Grip Aviaire/Ballsign Mod). It takes the body of the Grip Aviaire and shortens it then adds the grips from the Ballsign mod.

    「 TUTORIAL 」

    ~Materials~

    2x Papermate Flexgrip Ultra (Body)
    2x Uniball Signo (Tip)
    2x Pilot Super Grip (Grip)
    1x Pilot Dr. Grip (Grip)
    1x Chopstick (Wood)

    ~Getting Ready~

    Flexgrips- Remove the tip, then cut through the pen after the first two rings.
    Chopstick- Cut the chopstick so it just fits two of the flexgrips side by side.
    Signo/Super Grip- Remove the tip from the Signo and the grip from the Super Grip. Stuff the Signo tips into the Super Grip grips
    until they are flush with the edge of the grip.
    Dr. Grips- Cut at approximately 0.5 cm.

    ~Assembly~

    Connect the two Flexgrip Bodies together with the chopstick and then shove the Super Grips/Signo Tips onto either end. Attach the Dr. Grip Segments on top of the Super Grip grips so that they are flush with the ends. Spin Away!

    ~Finished Product~



    ~Assembly Video~



    ~Notes~

    -You Can adjust the length to however ever long you want it to be.
    -The assembly video is modeled after Bonkura's famous ballsign mod tutorial.
    -I'm a noob spinner still so sorry for the ending of the vid.
    -I suck at Kanji and other things so the Japanese might be wrong. sorry.

    very nice! very clean! on the picture, i dont see a crease from where they are put together. but there is a crease, right?

    also, does the dr grip cause the lip at the ends of the pen? like on a ballsign?

    TY! There is a crease at the COG but it is quite small, and yes the Dr. Grip causes the lip. It was modeled after the Ballsign mod after all. laugh.gif

    uh, dont take this the wrong way but this is not really a new mod. This is more of a grip aviaire variation. People have been using a chopstick as a replacement for the paintbrush for a while now and supergrip=G2 grip. Pretty much all you did differently was not use a slickpen grip in the middle (people have done this before too) and add small rings of dr.grip grip on the ends =\

    edit: Regardless of whether it's a new mod or not though, some people are bound to find a tutorial for a mod variation helpful anyway so i'll leave this up like i did for the "dr.comssa" variation.

    Yeah i agree with K4S, this is really not a new mod. It's just a variation. i would say post your pens in the POst your pens section and see how people react to it, then release a tutorial if it seems excepted. just a thought

    I don't think Tatemichi said he made a new mod and he clearly stated that its a mod that used both style of banz and bonkura(if he meant that). Nice one and thx for the signo tips lol.

    Today I created a new mod(hopefully)!
