Title: Bat cave 3!
Post by: Fezballoh on March 09, 2013, 08:51:26 AM
Knocked this guy up yesterday as I was rained off of work:

It'll be a shade under 2'10" when its all dressed up. 30mm edge and near enough 70mm at the highest point of the spine.

I was trying to make a copy of a L/H bat that I've made for someone else that turned out nice. It's the higher one in this picture:

Newest bat with another stickered up Phesmar on the left (S/H 2'11" if you like the look of it, everything is for sale!).

Thanks for the props fellas. I think I'm making bats with better pickups putting the middle higher. Everything's in place except for the stickers, which I like the look of but aren't as durable as I'd have wanted.

Eddie, I read on another thread that you're at HAC. Do you play midweeks with my pal Martin Secret?

Mr Secret.
If I told you I'd have to shred you after!

I have played for the Squadrons but they keep that to current members of the Regiment.
As I was in the RAMC I don't get the call too often. That's the problem with Gunners, a rather inflated sense of importance! Only joking. They would give me loads as a Corps man but it's all good banter in the mess.

I don't know the chap. If I do meet him whom should I say sends his regards?

Oops, its actually Secrett (2 t's :s). Tell him you know Fez and that'll do! Need a word with admin actually as I've just realised that my username has a typo! Should be Fezbollah Tre annoying.
