Nice, but tough to make without break
I've made 2 of these, and have experienced the same problem with both. That is the tight clearance between the pen blank and the tubes allow for the blank to crack or chip. Also because of that the brass tubes are transparent through the blank, but still look nice with the gold. Nice pen, little tolarance will break blanks.

Disappointed
Overall, I like the look and feel of this pen. I did, however, think the quality is lacking when compared to other rollerball kits. The completed pen just looks cheap. If you are looking for a quality rollerball kit, my recommendation is to pay the extra couple of bucks and get the Navigator or Metro instead.
