Okay, so I made this mod when I ran out of G2’s for AMMX’s. I decided to improvise, using the wide-spread Bic Round-Stic.

BICVP

Pens Needed-
2 Pentel RSVP
1 Pilot G2
1 Bic Round-Stic
any metal tip

Parts Needed-
1 RSVP body
1 RSVP ink tube
1 RSVP cap
1 RSVP screw back cap
2 RSVP grips
1 G2 grip
1 Bic Round-Stic cap
any metal tip

Weight- 15 grams (slightly heavier than a standard AMMX)

Length- 20.5 cm (about the same as an AMMX)

Difficulty to Mod- Easy-Moderate

Procedure-
1) List of pens. This list shows one Bictory cap already made and one Bic Round-Stic cap.

2) Reverse ink tube on the RSVP. File down the bump on the front like with a standard AMMX.

3) Take one RSVP grip. Push it into the RSVP cap like with a MX or AMMX.
4) Take the second RSVP grip and cut it into three equal sections. Each section should contain one row of ergonomic dots.
5) Take the Bic Round-Stic cap. Cut of the clip (DO NOT TAKE THE CLIP OFF THE RSVP CAP!!!). Push the G2 grip on to the top of the Bic cap. Push until it hits the little bump, about one centimeter from the bottom.
6) Take one section of the cut RSVP grip and push it onto the bottom of the cap. The Bic cap should be completely covered in grip.

7) Attach the metal tip to the end of the Bic cap. Use glue or just push it in.

8) Take another third of the RSVP grip and push it onto the RSVP body where the original grip used to be.

9) Push the Bictory cap on to the front of the RSVP pen until it touches the grip.

Final Product-

Note: I used a silver RSVP moonz grip and a black RSVP grip for color preference.

Ta-Dah! You have a BICVP, perfectly weighted!

Feedback and Comments Please!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT-

The BICVP looks better if instead of putting 1/3 of the RSVP grip on the RSVP barrel, just push the Bictory cap on to the filed part of the RSVP. It is a little lighter and shorter, but weighted the same.

yeah, it's expensive if you don't have G2 grips and RSVP grips, but this mod can be created and used with any mod of your choice.

It doesn't look the prettiest of pens, but it probably works alright. /shrug

Since the mod finally has a solid name: thread cleaned of all the naming posts. Now, let's get to actually commenting on the pen mod's qualities.

just curious, could you PLEASE stop editing my threads. my mind was set on Bic-Spin before it was changed. don't change it now, or you will make an even bigger fool of yourself. i am just saying, for future reference, let me name my own pens and rename them what i want to.

Didn't you agree to the new name?? Sketching just got rid of the crap useless posts..... i dont understand why you're flaming him.... he's the one of best mods on the site....

sorry if it came out rude.

i guess it could have been interpreted that way.

i am not flaming him, and i have no right to flame him, because he was just doing his job.

plus, the public seems to like BicVP, so i let it happen.

i am not criticizing, making fun of, getting angry at, insulting, or flaming sketching in any way.

sorry for the inconvenience.

Can we please get back onto the topic of the pen again? Those posts really should be edited out too... but I'll leave em. For future refrence though, it would be better to PM a mod with a request like that.

As for said pen, it looks pretty nice. Seems like a good substitution for those without certain parts, as well as conserving materials that are sometimes not used. Continue the inginuitive work :)

BICVP sounds great..
Good job on the Pen btw  :clap:

IT IS OFFICIAL. THE BICTORY MMX IS RENAMED TO BICVP (PRONOUNCED BIC THEN THE INDIVIDUAL LETTERS, VP.

THAT IS IT.


Silly me. I thought that the above quoted post, by you, actually meant that you wanted the name changed. I'll read your posts more carefully next time.
