Kaylee's not gonna be ready for Milton Keynes, so this is the perfect excuse - Does anyone have a flame unit they'd be willing to sell for a reasonable price, please?
Ta!

I may have one part built, if you want it, let me have a look see if i can find it...

Sorry, i don´t have one to sell...

Greetz from germany - Pyro

LOL
My bad.

I dunno why I even know the name - I think I saw it referenced in a video game manual years ago ( Something for the Spectrum! ) and thought "That's such a cooler word than "flamethrower".

Ahh the joys of the German language and their 3 types of the word 'the'

Harry Harris is the MAN, BTW...
Thanks dude! Much obliged!

I'm oddly impressed with Royal Mail, too.
Since when did something posted 1st Class at about 4pm actually turn up the next day?
( OK, they handed it over with a parcel they'd not bothered delivering two days before, but still... )

Now - Harry, there seems to be two fuel tanks with the kit?
*Confused*
One an upgrade for accuracy or something?
*Off to the pic archive*

My pleasure man.

Actually that is pretty impressive!

I made up the other one from EMA parts to try to accurise the kit (a Star Arms flame-thrower) - bearing in mind it was released way before anything that was remotely similar to the real thing!

Heh. Cheers. I dount I'll have it finished in time for this weekend, but you'll get to see the final result if you make it to CM Glasgow, or the NSC.
Gonna have it drilled through, and use a threaded rod to hold the bits together.

BTW, that dude who was selling a Flamer on eBay that a few folk linked me to - The pic was one of yours
[EDIT]
My bad, it's not one of yours, it's the pic of the complete Klingon Armourer kit from the alienscollection website.

Have pointed this out and asked him for pics of the actual thing he's selling if anyone else was watching the auction...

Hmm...

I got a reply to the message I posted asking the guy for photos of his piece, and pointing out he'd leeched Harry's pic:



If he plans to finish it and keep it, why's he got it on eBay?

Hmm.
VERY suspicious of this guy now.

I asked for some pics of the actual flamer, and said that depending on the kit it's 80% built from, I might actually know someone who could make him a decent cash offer - I mentioned a few of the inaccuracies of the various kits on the market and offered to help him ID exactly what he had on his hands...






Uhh...
OK, whatever.

I've experienced this attitude from conmen in the past, as a blustering attempt to draw attention away from their refusal to back up their claims simply by showing pics of what they're hawking.

Looks like the dude's a ripoff merchant after all - Or at the very least determined to keep up his claim that his flamer's cast from screen-used...

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I've been looking for a flame thrower as well. Is the one you mentioned by that i.r. person?

BTW anyone else intending to bid. I don't want to bid against another member.

That's the one I was talking about.

Still with the leeched pic, I see

Thanks. RS

That's not the one I'm watching right now. Mine is in the states.

If it isn't total vapourware, I'd make an educated guess that this is a terran trader kit.

I used to own one, and the fuel tank and shroud are vac-formed. Not worth £60, especially from a weirdo like that.

Well, it's the "Klingon Armourer" kit - He ( Tried to ) said that in his auction text, and that's the pic he stole.

Interestingly, he's just changed his username...

You guys know the score... as badly as you might want something, and as badly as you might want it to be what you want, this guy has sent up plenty of red-flags in his e-mails (as posted here) warning that it's best that you just stay away.

I hate people like that, and happened to have a similar experience on eBay back in about 1999 that put me in a tough position where I had already won the item but was going to be charged an overly inflated shipping cost -- not mentioned in the auction posting mind you. When I questioned how he determined the cost, his attitude in his e-mails made my skin crawl and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the item I had just won.

It's always good to ask questions first, and know when to walk away.

Good job on getting hooked up by Harry with the flamethrower by the way!

I have a wee surprise for him come November as a thank you

Said flamer won't be ready for the weekend, so I'm shotgunning after all... But on the upside, a mate with a machine shop's drilling the body out for some threaded rod for uber stability - And I MIGHT be into a run of metal heat shields for the front end, for about £20 a pop.

I'd need about 5 sold to do that, so watch this space.

After reading everything on here i have a better idea on what my flamethrower is worth, bugger all by the looks of it so i'll be selling it with my pulse rifle as a job lot... will post pictures and start a seperate thread sometime today......
