Chris Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Here are some of my 4" shells from last NYE. I figured I post them here in the competition. All, except 4" TT to White nr. 2 come both in MPG and wmv format. The mpg's are really large and heavy files, and might not work smooth with everyone. I hope you have the codecs for wmv. The rising tails are D1 comets, except on the Win39 to blue, which has a win39 comet on top. 4" Tigetail to white MPG WMV 4" Winokur39 to blueMPGWMV 4" Tigertail to whiteOnly MPG 4" Golden polyp w/ red pistil. Golden tailMPGWMV Thanks for watching! EDIT: Obviously 4 shells, not 3 like the title suggests! Edited January 31, 2009 by Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Some very very nice shells there, good breaks too. Paper or plastic, how much pasting, flash booster? What was the white formula? Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSidewinder Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Fixed your title, Chris. And yeah, nice shells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swervedriver Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Beautiful! I'll have to try the win39 some day, I understand it rolls easily.Couple questions, do you rice the TT type comp, dry it, and then remill it before rolling it? I have trouble rolling the high charcoal comps like TT on cut cores. And what size stars were you using in the first 3 shells? I've grown to love the effect of a larger number of small slower burning stars, more so than a lower number of larger, more energetic stars.

However, stars with Antimony Trisulfide seem to spike somewhat easily, so you need to sprinkle the comp evenly. I don't prepare the TT any special way, because it seems to roll nicely for me as is. I think the key is that I use heavy cores and I roll large batches at time. Usually 2 kg or so. Large batches allow me to use more cores. The more cores you have in the drum, the better any comp will roll. The TT starts were about 3/8". 39's were a little larger because the comp is a fast burner.
