BJV Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi All, Below are a few photo of a Saturn shell that Iput together this morning. I can't say this is atutorial, it's more for getting some input. I usenewspaper hemi's I am not of fan of plastic or strawboardI feel that they interfere with the symmetry of the brake.The bursting charge is BP on rice hulls 5 to 1, with awhistle booster.The shell will have 17 wraps of heavy gum tapewhen complete.Have I left anything out? I will not be able to shoot it untilthe fire restriction are lifted.Thanks,BJVhttp://barry.dcwisp.net/Saturn1.jpghttp://barry.dcwisp.net/Saturn2.jpghttp://barry.dcwisp.net/Saturn3.jpghttp://barry.dcwisp.net/Saturn4.jpghttp://barry.dcwisp.net/Saturn5.jpghttp://barry.dcwisp.net/Saturn6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 thanks for the pics did you hot glue the ring stars in (kind of looks like it and I dont know if they need to be secured or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJV Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) thanks for the pics did you hot glue the ring stars in (kind of looks like it and I dont know if they need to be secured or not) Hi Ralph, Yes I did hot glue the ring stars in place. I have had good luck with my plain ring shell this way. I don't really see them going any where as tight as every the is pack in this shell, I going to build several moreand will try some not glued in.BJV Edited September 24, 2010 by BJV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkInLight Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 That looks very good. I absolutely love your hemis. They're very clean and nice and thin, which I think is a huge benefit. Thin hemis means that the majority of the wall of the shell is made up of pasting, which has no seam to provide a weak spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis050594 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Would you mind showing how you make your hemis? Do you use wheat paste? What do you use as a former? It looks great, can't wait for video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
