1st & 2nd Build/ 3rd & 4th Etch (pic heavy)

[hylandren]

Greetings from Noobville. I am the mayor.
I have been a member of another forum for a little while, but just joined this one as well. I am looking forward to learning all I can. I only have 2 builds under my belt. They are a Confidence Boost and a 250+ clone:

I love the brushed look on the 1590A, what grain of sandpaper did you use to get that ? (fairly coarse, I imagine)

Very nice builds otherwise, you're off to a great start!

[slimtriggers]

I love the detail in the flame!  Care to share how you did that?  I'm guessing some very careful Dremeling?

Very cool stuff

[icecycle66]

That's the best kind of heavy.

[lincolnic]

Dude, these builds are great! The gouged-out rocket flame LED is brilliant.

[jimilee]

These are smooth!

Someone who has a 1590A under his belt as either first or second build doesn't qualify as noob-ish, to my mind

Very nice work! The wire wrangling comes with experience, mine looked like spaghetti (and still do to a certain extent, compared to Pickdropper.)

[DutchMF]

Very, very nice! And also a compliment on your photography, those are some sharp pics!

Beautifully done! As nentioned the rocket flame is very cool and originsl. I would've thought you'd been at this a few years now. You should enter one of these in the August build off!

Well you're off to a flying start mate , great etches,tidy guts, Matt.

Welcome to the forum....Those are two really nice builds, the rocket flame is a great addition. It would look like you are another top pedal maker in the making

Great Work

Haha. He said "Noob" and posted this.
I shouldn't post build reports myself anymore ...

[steveperiod]

yep, those etches look fan-freaking-tastic. care to share your method? did you use pnp blue or something else? they're so clean.

[jprizz]

I'll just ditto everyone else here...

That's a hellofa first post!

[jkokura]

Noob level expert maybe...

Great work. The exteriors on both of those are really, really well done.
