My first 4'' shell c6 - floverpot

plz comment !
My first 4'' shell c6 - floverpot
its about (~250...~300) m away from mortar.
disaster :(... but my mortar survived.
I think:
maybe "error" in spolette, or too much lift....

Beautiful mine! Even if it was not in your scope.

It happens to everybody. 5/5

[krobis2]

Thanks, i think, maybe I will make some star-mine like this for NYE or MSE :D,

[kno3dude]

Great try,looked like an awsome mine tho!! was it a can shell?, those bast****s can flowerpot any day of the week;) lots if disk insert to prevent the blow trough around your spolette/fuse, 5/5 anyways, from the Dude

Thanks, no round shell with ~100 stars (~1,5x~1,5 cm).

[kno3dude]

aha, use alot more hotglue around the spolette and smear it around the bottom of the shell were the cup is attached, before pasting, so the lift dont burst the hemi

[krobis2]

ok I will experiment on it... I want to upgrade my skills, and make realy nice shels for NYE 2010. In NYE 2009 i make only 4 of 1.5'' shells, i started to make firevorks shells in december 09 (much things to learn).

[tritonmole]

that was beautiful!!!!!

[kno3dude]

dont worry, you will learn fast, ive been doing it since feb 2008:)

[krobis2]

Thanks, I been a 30m away from mortar...looks nice 20~30m hight starmine :), but anyway it is FAIL.

[nirvanafan833]

oh well, it made a nice starmine :P

shame it flowerpotted, but I gues that's how you learn, yeah you might have had a gap in the spollette or something

anyway, 5*
