hey alpha
you kill me, you really do
you spend 13 hours fabricating a mantlet from scratch which looks the part, then wonder if it's good enough?
I suggest next time, you don't make it outdoors as you've obviously got sunstroke!
seriously though, good job & use it for gawds sake

You want one Canned.... It was easier than I thought it would be...I just made a mistake when installing the flaps...I can make you one if you want...but only if you build that flamer

Yes indeed Lister...after 13hrs of struggle with those flappers ... believe it or not I was about to chuck it out lol...not thinking to rationally... and because it didn't look too bad... I just had to get the second opinion
and it wasn't done outside... so might have been too much fluorescent radiation exposure
but yeah I'm going to use it... got to take a look at a nick aguilar resin version... it isn't quite right...though if I had it in hand before making this one.. it would have saved me a lot of pain
Thanks Lister
