LTUPyro Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Timed reports was very nice, it's pretty hard to get time right, but you made it very well.Bow Tie looked pretty nice as well, just kinda in wrong orentation
fredhappy Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Nice work vh, but boy...that 4"cylinder triple report ring...man..I tip my hat to you for that one.. ..brilliant stuff! Thanks for the upload, keep at it! best fred

leedrill Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 yep gotta love timed reports very nice but i love the mustang aswelll very clean
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Wow. The timed report shell is fantastic. Would you mind throwing up a video of how you crafted that one and the compositions? I would love to try that shell out.
Dean411 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Really nice!I plan on moving into cannister shells over the next year Dean
PyroEnthusiast Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Nice job on the bow tie shell but that time report shell is in a different league . I will definitely keep an eye out for your future projects/shells.
vh718 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) heres another 4" ball shell. gold streamer to veline blue. the gold streamer is TT + 15% FeTi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT_wmpleHpk Edited July 9, 2013 by vh718
dynomike1 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 That was impressive. How can you beat that. That timed report has got me thinking about building some canister shells.
FrankRizzo Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Beautiful shell! Edited July 11, 2013 by FrankRizzo
fredhappy Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 #VH: Looks very nice, well done. I get that same auto propulsion effect when my streamers burn through to the coloured core. I think it has to do with a little bit too much water when rolling on the first increment on your coloured cores. Did you dry your cores before rolling on the streamer? I assume you primed the blue cores? thanks for sharing bro, well done again. best fred

Zumber Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Really enjoyed your shells...nice job keep it up.......
vh718 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 another shell from the 4th. this one i really liked.
Seymour Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 another shell from the 4th. this one i really liked. Me too!
fredhappy Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 #VH: well done on the alternating streamer/coloured ring, very nice. But imo inner petals for 4"ers are best made with 5 or 6mm stars for a better symetrical pattern. Please don't get me wrong please, I liked your saturn a lot. You know I like your eye for detail, and your quest for the best symmetry... I am currently rolling a batch of 5 and 6 mm orange stars. I'll experiment with inner petals specifically for 4"shells. For my show I'd used 7mm's, but they were a bit too large for use as inner petal stars. How big were your inner petal stars? best fred
LTUPyro Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 another shell from the 4th. this one i really liked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1tih4SNj4 Very nice! Do you have any building pics ?

How big were your inner petal stars? best fred hmmm yeah good observation, the inner petal stars were about 8mm. i used them cuz i had them for 3" shells and im too lazy to roll a smaller batch just for inner petals Very nice! Do you have any building pics ? sorry i dont
fredhappy Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 vh: I follow you, I have the same issue somethimes. Loads of 8mm's primed, tested and ready to go, what the heck, might as well use them for petals in 4"ers. I'll prime my 5 and 6 mm's asap, and see if I can improve my 2"inserts and petals this way. Lately I've come to the conclusion that somewhat smaller stars give a much denser flower and a better symmetry, especially for the smaller calibers It's a good idea to keep some 5 and 6 mm's when rolling up a batch. Simply screen some more compo when you start out to , this should compensate for the fewer stars you'll end up with when you'll reach your targeted size range. best fred
