TOP SECRET: Scale Fire Extinguisher
 

For those guys waiting for your FE5 extinguishers - the epoxy is drying as you read this! ...but wanted to update you (and others) on a new design suggested by a member of RCC. The Halon extinguisher system. He sent me a pic so here's what I've been secretly working on. Still have some major detailing to do but you'll get a "rough" idea of the finished product. I just threw together the label and pressure gauge (will be fixed), and the cap piece will look different when it's done.

Hope you like.8) and feel free to comment too. Always looking for new ideas or suggestions on making things look better.

On the right is the original photo image with the scale mockup version on the left. The pic is on my iPhone for scale.

Another idea of its scale size - it's only 1.5 inches tall.

Here's the additional FE5 (1.5 inch) lineup:

As soon as Corey gets in the Honcho - the halon extinguisher system (below) will be built around it.:)

WOW DAVE! That thing turned out awesome. You really hit it out of the park on this one. I can't believe it.

Dave good to see you back man...

That looks so real, Great job "thumbsup"

Thanks Man - But wait - there's more coming. An updated version of this one. I'm hoping the difference between the pic and scale will be undistinguishable. "thumbsup" That will be coming out soon. SUSCRIBE TO THE THREAD SO YOU'LL GET THE UPDATE WHEN I POST IT.

Hey Mike!!! Yea - I've been hybernating with all this cold weather. Like your avitar (LOL). I'm developing some new stuff as I progress. Up to a version 6 now. If you want me to update your extinguisher - just let me know. I'll do it for free and send it back to you. Not that your version doesn't already look pretty bitchen.:mrgreen:

Thanks Duncan. You'l never guess how many hours just that one took me. (14). Of course - that was only because things ran smoothly (LOL).:shock:

FE update 9/11
 

Hi guys.

Supeisingly, I've been recently getting a lot of inquiries about these.
I did stop making them. I know, sad huh? They are sweet. It's my time schedule can't allow it just yet.

I may start back up with making a "few" next year. It takes so long to make just one (to perfection of course).

I'll let you guys know when I'm back to it. But I know I'll still get letters of persuasion and that's cool. I still like gettig them :)

Thanks again for your good words and so many votes of encouragement! It's greatly appreciated.

Cheers--
