New Bulkfiller Ks Prototype

[fountainbel]

Hi all !

Below two pictures of a Kingsize FT Bulkfiller prototype I’ve just finished today

This "Computer Matrix Acrylic Pen Blank “ was bought from “Bear tooth Woods” in the US.

Note the 2 gold plated rings on both sides of the cap ring were not foreseen originally, but I made the ring groove in the cap too wide, and since I only had material for one pen I’ve installed these rings to solve the problem.

Although I like the material, the end result seems somewhat too busy to me……

What do you think ?

Best regards,

Francis

Stunning

Aside from the gold rings, I like it quite a bit. I don't like those rings, though.

[PaganArcher]

I absolutely love it as it stands. It is a busy pattern, but I think the gold actually ties things together by drawing just enough attention away from the pattern of the body.

I think it's very pretty! I would love a red version just because I have a weakness for chessboard-looking designs, but I think the green is stunning as is.

I'll take one.

Too busy for me with such sharp delineation between colors.

[Driften]

Yea it is a little too busy, but the gold rings were a great addition! Nice work.

[GardenWeasel]

Gorgeous pen! I wouldn’t change a thing on it.

[Mulrich]

It seems like the gold rings match some of the colors in the pattern so I think the born looks good (but Im not a design expert, or even a design novice).

Black finials and you have a winner for me.....like the gold rings

[Marioferu]

You can add more rings, like that Pelikan 200 one... But it is perfect like this one. Please send one to me.

I really like it posted; I wonder if having the section the same material is what makes it busy? Could that be a plain black?

 

It's lovely though

[Aysedasi]

I disagree with the 'too busy' comments. I love it - particularly the two gold rings which I think give the pen more 'distinction'. And no, don't change the section!

I disagree with the 'too busy' comments.

 

And I disagree with your disagreement!

[Aysedasi]

Is this the full argument or just the 5 minutes.....?

[Karmachanic]

Isn't!

Very nice. Not busy. The pattern is deco - a design statement that may be accidental. I think I would like a gold nib on this one.

I'm usually not a fan of busy patterns on pens and generally choose demonstrators, but I think this is lovely. It reminds me of some vintage pens I've seen but also manages to look modern at the same time, and I especially love that the section matches the body. The rings look rather nice too, since they highlight the yellow in the pattern. A pen I'd love to own, to be honest!
