fredhappy Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I´ve shot these 3 little shells recently. The first is a 2 inch kamuro and then follows a 2.5 inch kamuro, ending with a 3 inch c8->buell red. I´ve hooked the rack up with some visco. First two shells were very good in terms of symmetry. I´ve screened my stars multiple times with very accurate screens. I ve taken great care to fill the little shells nice and full and to essentially build them the same way as I do my larger ones.It was a bit like working on miniature shells, but it does pay off to be accurate . The little shells were nicely round and a full flower. I can now start building these shells for use as inserts for larger shells. Round stars were 6 mm kamuro . 2 2.5 inch kamuro en 3 inch c8-buell red.AVI
Pyroboy Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Really nice Shells, what did you use for burst? Does not look like BP.
fredhappy Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 Really nice Shells, what did you use for burst? Does not look like BP. Burst really is just ordinary meal coated ricehulls in the ratio 1:5 with exactly 1 gram of hotflash. I have also pasted these tiny shells very precise , this helps too. Karlos, thanks!
FREAKYDUTCHMEN Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Very well done fred You're very committed to this hobby, this will show up in your creations, can't wait to see your shells in the future.
Bilbobaker Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Excellent craftsmanship. Wish I could duplicate your shells.
thunderboy Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Yes, nicely done..............one day i will make them like you
fredhappy Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 Very nice breaks love the colors . Thanks man...When starting out with colours, go for the easy obtainable ones. I like using buell red and B70 shimizu. The buell red is quite a good carbonate red, which you can easily bind with water and dextrin. Of course, Sr(NO3)2 gives a superior red, but due to its hygroscopic properties you have to use volatile solvents to bind them.
