hey alpha
you kill me, you really do :D
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! :haha:
seriously though, good job & use it for gawds sake :thumbup:

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 :haha: :haha:

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 :haha:
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 Image

Thanks Lister :thumbup:
