psyco_1322 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 A little something I put together yesterday to shoot for the occasion. Only Christmas colors I had on hand were some small green, so I made some inserts with them and white strobe (which you can't much see). A bit loose in the gun surprisingly. Includes decorative wrap! http://imgur.com/R3ik9z0 Video: http://youtu.be/eEN-MPz_l64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedrill Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 indeed beautiful shell well done man pity about the lift the first break looked perfect but could of been moving a bit faster obviously but gotta love when you pause it and see the bottom shot actually didnt seem to touch the ground it really looks like it would be about 6" of the ground haha really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiley Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 That was an absolutely amazing shell! I don't see why people would want to build those silly round shells after seeing what you can do with multibreak cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobosan Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I liked that purple. Whole shell was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Yeah I was kind of trying to get that stuata look with the star inserts. I think in the future when I build one, the first break will be broke lightly, becasue those inserts sure spread out quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningRNX Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Nice shell, I like those inserts, very suprisingly effect, how did you close the tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I liked that the first breaks purple burnt out just before the green went off, made for a nice color transition. I just glue the thin paper plugs into the tubes, then fill in the out side cavity with hot glue to make a solid plug. The fuse can be run through the side of the tube, or through one of the end plugs. These were through the end plug, since there is not room in the center of the shell for side fusing. Also there was no priming done to either ends of the time fuse, just top hatted black match on the outside. The green is just Emerald Green. The purple is a carbonate purple with a bit of MgAl to brighten it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan999ification Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks for the build info the timing is good Nice to know you are having success without priming the fuse aswell, did you roughen the ends up? What is the core like?I've not tried with thin (3mm) core yet. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyco_1322 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 What size were the inserts? The colored ones where 1" ID tubes, the reports were 3/4" ID tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderBoy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nice shell P! I really liked the "crown" effect of the 1st break. How did you attach the lift? Tissue paper pouch and dry wrap over top? The festive paper was a nice touch WB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Lift was attached "tissue paper and tape style". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
