I had two goes at making this… Stuffed up the first one. No big write up on the build process, just look at the pics.
Torches from left to right [Manker e14 > convoy s3 > convoy s2+ > convoy s6]
Nice finishing / patina work. Awesome result!
Thanks Hoop
Impressive!
Skulls aren’t my thing, but I love this!
Looks beautiful!
Very impressive!
It’s superb
This is the type of thing I’d love to make “if only I had the tools.” But I know this takes a lot of skill and practice, too. Great work!
Wow, that is some impressive work!
And I like how you have “BLF” inscribed on it.
I know everyone has different tastes so that’s quite a compliment.
Thanks everyone
Never saw anyone make that kind of custom in house.
Really impressive.
Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely amazing. Nice machining!
Dang this is stunning.
in the photo, an Astrolux flashlight with a copper head, and the tube at the lantern is screwed from the Convoy S6?
Holy macaroni!
That’s incredible, though it does make me think the target market would be fans of Pol Pot and a well known second rate Austrian painter.
I’m sure if you made one with Simon Cowell’s face on it, he’d pay you a fortune. (He’s a well known British TV presenter known for his vanity. I’m sure there’s a US equivalent. I can’t think who, mmmm …)
Lol Thanks to the popularity of tv tallent shows in the past 20 years, Simon is Extremely well known over here as well… He’s been a judge/host on several US based shows.
He doesn’t come off very vain over here. Used to be the most well known jerk on tv for a while, but he’s mellowed with age, doesn’t have that reputation much any more.
That light is a manker e14 first version which is the same light as astrolux s41. It is the original body. Only thing that is not stock is the pocket clip
Simon is also known here in aus. I did have to look up Pol Pot though… that correlation seems rather specific for reasons i don’t understand…?
This photo might explain:
