It looks really nice, you did a good job there robby .... Gimme it 

I did another one which looked better than that one, it actually got made as a prototype in a chinese factory which got sent to me by the owner of Vaporbreak, it didn`t end up in production, but I was still chuffed to bits. Must dig it out in the morning.

Woah that's a claim to fame. Gimme that one instead

Sheesh it's good to share you know. Hah they do look good in brass though. First time I've seen one which isn't either black chrome or silver. Looks much nicer.

That`s what I thought when I did mine and altered it a bit, I still think it would have sold well, much better looking than that grooved V3 that came out and flopped basically. 

[dalealan]

Yeah the v3 was an odd lucking duck. Really suits the brass look. They should have definitely released it. Boo hiss to them robby

[Brambles]

<---- book marks this thread has robby 's vamos are worth seeing again! They are really good.

[robby]

That`s the pic I sent to Min at Vaporbreak of the one I did. The extra bits are 22ml plumbing bits soldered on, all the joints still worked on it.

You can see the Black and Decker in the conservatory with the buffer on.

[dalealan]

Ooooooh shiny. gimme gimme gimme

[robby]

I`ll post the one they made in the morning, time it had a polish anyway lol I really liked the copper/brass combination, they just made it all brass which to my mind didn`t look as good.

...in that case I am off to the crispy cotton sheets and feathery pillow. See you in the morning.

[dalealan]

That's the only thing that puts me off brass and copper stuff it seems like a bit of a faff on having to polish them

If you use the anti tarnish stuff it isnt too bad, 5 minutes once a fortnight is usually enough.

Jesus you sound like our lass 

[robby]

That`s the one they made, looks much the same as mine, but all brass, pity about the shiny stones on their top cap though lol. The bottom cap was milled for it as was the joint bits.

[dalealan]

Preferred yours.looked a bit steampunkish and more industrial if that makes any sense. There's looks a bit too blingy.
