Flamethrower Up! **FINISHED**for real! pg8

It looks real nice.  I have to agree with the commentrs aboutthe wood.   A chunk of palm tree would look better IMO.  And unless there is something I don't know about flamethowers, (which is really nothing at all), this is bent.

Many thanks Frank!!! Email on the way!

Wing_nut...thanks for the kind words! One of the changes I have made is to put a palm truck in place of the timber...Ill have more pics up soon!

I had to dig but here is a photo of the flame thrower if you meant it was bent...

HEHE I though you may just say something

Here are the revamped pics...thank you guys for the great comments and critiques!

IMO the palm tree looks much better than that chunk of wood... It fits more into place with the rest of the dio...

Great job Stern0, really wonderful

Oh, and thanks for the tut!

Thanx Axel...I do like the palm better..hope it makes for a better overall apperance. Glad you like the toot...hope it helps someday!

Tom, Congrats again for the podeum at the show...very cool! The changes I made were things that I questioned when building...I think the palm log looks more in contex with the rest of the dio and I did feel it to be a little cluttered, Now with it cleaned up and the Marine a little more under cover, I like it better...I laughed to myself about the exposed Marine, saying Hes a Marine..he don't give a dam!!! He was very mission oriented! Thanks for checking it out!

AHHH!  Much better... was going to say something about the wood block but others have mentioned about it so there was no need for me to beat a dead horse.  Fallen palm tree looks alot better!

DP, Many thanks....for once a change I made works! I like the palm much better!!!

Tom,

INDY, Thanks for the positive feedback and props on the pics!!!

Sterno, that's really a great-looking dio! You don't see Pacific theatre dios often, and this one has everything--good execution, composition, and tension.

Great work!!

Doog, Thank you for the favorable comments, you are too kind!

M.R. Thanks for looking and your great critiqe...I can always use another set of eyes. I think it cleaned it up a bit and the palm tree is a little more dynamic then the beam...The plane part is something I have wanted to try but have never had a reason to...It adds a little but I was leary of it being cheesy..

Chris, I think the tree is MUCH better, used the other peice because I guess I was too lazy to build another tree I do think this one will go to Richmond in a few months..Thanks for the vote of confidence and your positive feedback!

Great looking dio!

Really like the finnished product. Nice beach head..
