Love your work, Pyroman! Looking forward to seeing more of your shells!

Thanks, I'm verry happy. You have to know, that your shells are example for me, especially canister.

I live in Poland and unfortunately I have more problems. I can't buy shell casing, tubes, cardboard plugs red gums etc.

I have to start from scratch.

I have done shells for aobut 2 years.. I'll do it again, I passed my secondary school certificate and I have free time now.

I'll give my movie, if I do shells.

 

ps please forgive me my poor english ;)

Beautiful shell Pyroman! Would you mind sharing your brocade and strobe formulae?

I have to agree, an excellent shell! I would be interested in hearing that formula as well!

BTW, very good shells, I liked the second one with the changing from D1 to green.

Thanks for pointing that out quest, I read it but I just didn't realize it though. Using commercial stars kind of defeats the purpose though huh? :)

Hmm...

 

Using commercial stars, inserts, whistles, hummers, or whatever, should place entered shells into a different category, in my opinion. But I aint the judge.....

This has been covered in the initial rules:

 

"No purchased items, all items must be homemade. Fuse, cardboard products, shell casings, and black powder are exempt from this rule."

 

I thought I was pushing the boudaries by using commercial flying fish! Never heard of anyone buying stars/inserts before.

My 4" weigh about 250g - 300g. (2" can. 70 - 90g).

 

I gave two 4" shell for competition : D1 glitter to green and

D1 glitter and Golden Rain.

I only went show you this first shell Brocade crown with strobe pistil, I don't give her for competition and I know that I must use only homemade products (exce[tions shell casing, cardboard etc.)

I'd like know formula this brocade crown stars... I still have couple this stars, I have to do chemistry analysis.
