Title: New (to me) BB Hulk
Post by: Kulli on May 16, 2017, 08:06:01 AM
After reading about Buzz's constant state of delight with his I had kept it in the back of my head to grab one if it ever popped up used in a light weight.

so I was delighted when this relatively unused one popped up at a reasonable price and weight.

and even more so when i realised one of the BB guys themselves had owned it http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=39698.msg629402#msg629402 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=39698.msg629402#msg629402)

Scrubs up pretty well once I finally got that manky fiberscuff sheet off, 9 nearly perfectly spaced straight grains. Lovely bat and plenty of wood in it for 2'8.

I took one but the lighting in our bod (untranslatable to english) was grim. Makes it look like a bit of an odd shape.

and the traditional toe and toes shot.

Funny that - people have always struggled to light my bod correctly too!
