This is NOT a bump, (except for the one a-beatin' in my heart).
Grayhighh, if I had that, I'd never sell it. "From My Cold Dead Hands" comes to mind.
I can't stop looking at that last photo of the 3 together (Grayhighh owns 3?)
That image makes them look colossal: like classical column bases in a museum, or quiescent robots waiting to hover away to their next duties.
The scoops taken out of the head look so "Void-In-A-Solid", sculptural.
Definitely like careful work has been put into it: it really spells out demanding but delicate machining.
The transition between the head and body is so well dealt with by the sizes and dimensions of the cooling-fins.
It's certainly a serious piece of art in the choices of proportions, the silhouette, and the overall composition.
If I owned it: first thing I'd do is carefully remove most of the Tritiums – to make it less firework-like.
(To me, the Tritiums distract from the beautiful proportions. Hey, I could maybe, possibly get used to them after a while).
Naturally, although I love it, being a CPF member – I'd prefer if it was a little altered – maybe 20mm longer?
It's exhausting being an Amateur Junior Torch Designer!
