VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Hi guys, in this thread I will post by and by my shells that we shot on New Year's Eve. (About 15 shells and rockets 7) First comes a 6 "Stutata. Unfortunately selecting the first timing too long. That is why it is too high for my taste. But in general I am quite satisfied https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6dp2gf04QE Greets VP
dan999ification Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Very close timings on the inserts ( intricci ?)I agree with you on the mother shell timing being long but not a bad thing by no means.Which comp did you chose for the shells? How are they fused? I've been looking forward to your stuff Dan.
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Thank you Dan, for the inserts i used TT+10% Fe-Ti.... 10x10mm cut stars. I fused them with bickford fuse. 5" Blue Peony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Bl6InjHB0 5" Cylinder shell with 2 rings of salutes and green center... i don´t know why i labeld this shell Beraq ?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW72N4lmJh0 5" Yellow Peony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxJ8IsmVS5U 1
ExplosiveCoek Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Nice stuff and perfect symmetry on the 5'' blue peony!
Shizznt Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Awesome shells.That blue peony was perfect! What size stars did you use in the blue shell?The beraq shell was amazing aswell.Great Job. -Ryan
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks, i used 10 - 10.5 mm stars in the blue. ( with prime about 11.5mm )
dan999ification Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Love the blue aswell, very nice star rolling Dan.
Oinikis Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 nice shell! (first one) I would imagine glueing some stars/comets to the inserts would make an even bigger effect, becouse it would look nice after first explosion, and when people will start thinking it over, bam, much bigger show. all the other shells were also great!
burningRNX Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Definitely a beauty that blue peony, You should be very proud on that one.
AdmiralDonSnider Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Very nice work on those shells. Seems you are taking fredhappys suggestions more serious
chemtech89 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 That's really great work viking, very nice stuff! If you dont mind me asking, what kind of burst were you using in these? Ratios, carriers, FP, etc.. Like they said the blue peony was perfect! Are you using timefuse on everything(inserts and shell)?
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Here is a 1lb Coreburner rocket ( 60-30-10 ) with a 3" cylinder shell that contains 8 silver tailed reports and some white strobe stars. For the timing of the reports , i used 14x14mm win39 stars. worked pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Ia-RLCy7I GreetsVP 1
dan999ification Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I like it vp, a fast nozzled motor, takes off like my nzless ( which could do with more power) milling fuel? nice timing on the inserts and the stars match the reports very nice... But are you telling me that you just put stars on a loaded tube (14mm od) and pasted it in.If so I'm about to save on fuse and experiment some more This is the one I wanted to see most from the pre fire I thought the stars were placed on top of fuse... Or the timing would be pants. I could see that the delays were not pressed or rammed by the protrusion. Dan. Edited January 7, 2014 by dan999ification
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 I have plastic caps on both sides. In one side I stabbed a hole and 2 strands of Black Match put into it. Then I stray a few crumbs 4FA BP arround the Black Match. Then the star and you're done.
asdercks Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Thank you Dan, for the inserts i used TT+10% Fe-Ti.... 10x10mm cut stars. I fused them with bickford fuse. 5" Blue Peony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Bl6InjHB0 5" Cylinder shell with 2 rings of salutes and green center... i don´t know why i labeld this shell Beraq ?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW72N4lmJh0 5" Yellow Peony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxJ8IsmVS5UThat blue peony is a winner, what composition did you use?
dan999ification Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks vp, its nice to see different methods.Did you press the stars? Weight and density have to be close for good timing.This will save me some fuse and adapting work Where did you get the blue wrapped tubes, I lost them. Dan.
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Yes, i press all my stars. win39 is a very good comp for timing inserts. with other comps i had not that good timing.the blue tubes i get here from germany , dan. Here is another shell from NYE. A 3" shell with silver tailed green stars and an hand rolled BS ( italian stayle )Worked pretty good i think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHW48W0O7cY GreetsVP
dan999ification Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Looks nice, i like the stars leaving a tail after the colour burned out.Perfect timing on the bottom shot not too much suspense.I like the lift aswell, it's been over a year since I fired a shell Dan.
Mumbles Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 You and I clearly have different opinion on perfect timing for a bottom shot. My perfect timing is when it's about 10 feet above the earth. Bonus points for closer.
schroedinger Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Bottomshot just 3.5 m above ground? Sounds scarry to me. Would be fine if you got a proper firing area with nothing more in it. But i would fear that many people would allready hit houses or sheds near by. If you wan't an explosion close to the bottom, you always could use a hang man (maybe also interesting to fake a bottom shot)
Mumbles Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 If you can hit houses and sheds, you have no business firing any aerial homemade pyro there. Responsibility is paramount in this hobby. 2
dan999ification Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) As you know mum i have mixed and varied opinions I like them in the air right after the effect has finished. Just when the second break should be.More breaks and I don't mind them getting lower.It's personal taste but I can see the skill and confidence in having them low to the ground. Dan.

Niladmirari Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Thank you Dan, 5" Blue Peony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Bl6InjHB0 5" Yellow Peony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxJ8IsmVS5UWow! Great!What bursting charge?Used kraft paper?
