[lardsiny]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG you need to make some fireworks and ship them to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RandomLilNinjaGirl]

Wow hard to believe you made these 10 out of 10!!

[murdoch2486]

@RandomLilNinjaGirl

thanks a lot :)

takes a lot of time and patience...but the end result is worth it!

cheers for the support

[CODFAN441]

you made some great rockets you should consider working with a fireworks company or developers your the kind of person who makes true firewroks!! =3

[murdoch2486]

@CODFAN441

thanks mate!

glad you enjoyed my work, and cheers! maybe one day :)

fingers crossed!

have a good weekend buddy

[CODFAN441]

@murdoch2486 no problem and you have a good weekend too =3

[PyR0Star]

WTF DID YOU SEE THE UFO AT :16 ??  NICE ROCKETS!!!

[murdoch2486]

@PyR0Star

haha, just a smudge on the lense, and the flash from a salute! :P

cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the show!

[druszan17]

Very hard stuff!!!!!

Congratulations.

[nickroselund]

hey how can i make a launch tube, i heard you can make them out of pvc pipe but is it safe? right now i just have some 1inch shells i want to launch

[murdoch2486]

@nickroselund

you can make 'mortars' out of any tubeing really. Cardboard/ fiberboard is recommended just incase you get a rupture of your tube. But if you are only using 1" shells that wont be an issue. PVC will be fine.

[trainguy2020]

@Murdoch2486

cheers man! you should try a rocket header with crossettes and adding a 50 g bottom shot.

[nickroselund]

hey man whats up? how do you make whistle mix i looked it up and heard it risky to make but still gonna try lol

[murdoch2486]

@nickroselund

hi mate

yeah it can be a risky procedure! i stay away from it, as i cannot justify buying a hydraulic press just for whistle mix motors!

As ive never made or used it, im not really the best person to ask, sorry.

have you had a look on pyroguide(dot)com?

[stevemcgranahan]

skills u got skills nice work

[murdoch2486]

@stevemcgranahan

cheers buddy

glad you enjoyed the show!

[gothbro111]

I luv these rockets!! each one is lile a little show!! what rocket comp did you use?

[murdoch2486]

@gothbro111

cheers mate

haha, getting the biggest bang for your buck! :)

Im currently using 60/30/10 BP, ball milled for 1 hour. seems to give loads of thrust with a long core!

[Pyto86]

these rockets are very nice Thups up ilove it

[pyromaniackid1]

ok, i have been wondering ever since i first saw them. WHAT IS THE COMP. FOR YOUR TT GLITTER STARS??????

[murdoch2486]

@pyromaniackid1

:)

44 KNO3

44 Airfloat Charcoal (i use Willow)

6 Sulphur

6 Dextrin

+12% Ti Sponge

[pyromaniackid1]

@murdoch2486 thanks :)

[thejewels92]

wtf rocket O.o

[murdoch2486]

@thejewels92

they are indeed!

[thejewels92]

@murdoch2486 eheheh

[PyroCompilations]

Very nice rockets :D

Only I have 3 questions:

What kinda camcorder did you use? Because its exelent in recording colors.

Wht was the blue you used? I use Phiko but that one isn't intense enough.

And wat is the drum and bass song in the beginning and end of your song? :P

[murdoch2486]

@PyroCompilations

Hi mate

yeah sure

1) I use a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD110....brilliant camera

2) These are a Pihko varient, without the dextrin, bound with 100% acetone (solely relying on the red gum for binding). I find that by adding dextrin, it gives a really washed out colour, like you are experiencing.

3) its just a dnb remix of 'rocking around the chrsitmas tree', i found in my collection, i always go with Black Sun Empire but wanted something more festive! :)

hope this helps mate

[junior420909]

SEXY ROCKETS

[murdoch2486]

@junior420909

cheers dude ;)

[petermackett37]

Fantastic rockets,my friend,so much better than commercial stuff,i wish i lived near you!,love thr salutes,the louder,the better!

[murdoch2486]

@petermackett37

cheers buddy :)

yeah, if you know what youre doing its a lot cheaper to get into the amateur side of things....but the risks of blowing your limbs off does enter into the equation! :P

haha, my neighbours probably dont share your view!

thanks for the support mate

[clarity2la]

mate im watched it 7-9 times in last two days))

i already see your name at the title of bigest pyroshows in the future :) keep it up

[murdoch2486]

@clarity2la

haha :)

thats awesome, thats the beauty of youtube!

lol, i wish! thats my dream to get paid to do a job that i love doing! i am actually thinking of going into pyrotechnics after i do my stint in the armed forces, so there may be some jobs going in my company! :P

thanks again for all the support :)

@pirotex2005

I use BP coated grass seed, with 1.2g 70/30 flash as the booster in my 3" shells! so thats where the kick comes from! just make sure your stars are rock hard, and they will survive the harsh break! :)
