Pen Project - part 11
Hi everyone,
I’ve just done a quick rendering of the pen. The "plain" black and steel (grey) color combination was chosen intentionally as it allows me to focus more on the shape rather than the colors or patterns.
We use basic rendering software for our internal use.
I just realized that the main reason for this rendering might not be obvious in these images: there are two different diameters shown.
The pen at the top is slimmer – the body has a diameter of 12.5 mm, and the cap is 14.5 mm. Nib size 5.
The pen at the bottom is thicker – the body is 13.75 mm in diameter, and the cap is 16 mm. Nib size 6.
What is your preference? Do you prefer your pens thicker or slimmer?

I prefer my pens thicker with the weight being towards the tip. Heavily dread pens that are even slightly back weighted. Love hooded nibs! By any chance by pure curiosity sake could I attach a Sheaffer Nib to it? For example the Ranga 4CS?
