Red Sky Mods

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy all, another fine day on the high seas, ime5k, you sound like a busy man!

Things seem to be getting slower and slower around here, too many alternatives out there nowadays? Time for a contest? Time to start taking custom orders again? Time for a new design? Time to start looking for a 9 to 5 job? I wish I could also use E-Bay as a alternate selling point, alas ... well, all we can do is keep a steady course and see.

A contest might rouse some interest Cappy. People love custom orders too. And... new designs are always fun! I guess I'm not much help...

 

[Kinotto]

in my humble opinion, people do not know how to recognize things of value, and beautiful things of great value, many imitators trying to copy the box RSM but in my opinion are only soulless objects.

it is difficult for a craftsman, an artist, maintaining a high quality so how does the captain, a result of a labor of love in every single part produced, i thank him for all this.

I wonder if doing a 50/50 run of custom and your choice mods would be good. There is a bit of excitement knowing you can get the mod made exactly how you want it (even if people mostly order similar combinations) and the excitement of the wait can be nice also.

Ohh and contests are always fun

 

[Kinotto]

i'm happy, i'm vaping my mark 9 in drip, listening to guns & roses and look the pizza from the oven,
three beautiful things all together, what could i wish for better?!?

what is "the contests?

 

[markfm]

Not Ebay, but I actually see some box mods posted on Etsy.

 

[ime5000]

yea cappy, ive heard good things about etsy, check them out, kinda like ebay for art, i know some people sell homemade drip tips pon there and stuff

 

[chet]

arrrrr.. very cool. I've never even heard about etsy 'til now.
Wow, those beauty Destroyers are still available~!
I think all RSM needs is some exposure. There're way too many people even at ECF who don't even know about RSM.
It'd be also nice to have a little section on RSM website where you can post updated notice about when the next batch will be available so people know exactly when to come back.

I could do that although I have always tried to give the ECF crew first notice, but I could start posting updates I guess.

 

[ime5000]

maybe that chat on the website should be reconsidered, people have a place to come and bs, they may like what they see on the site.
contests are always good! everyone loves contests, might get a buzz going around
i don think there really is much competition going around.
cappy im gonna send you a pm at sometime tonight

Hey there shipmates.. Hows it going? I like contests! I need to get a Dreadnaught before the new design ..

 

[Capt' Brian]

Yes, it's been too long since I had a contest, too mired down in work to think about it. Any holidays coming up? or should I just make me own, arrrr

Not to worry, the only design change I am working on is making the Mark-7 able to handle a bit larger tank, and seeing how that means I need a bigger body I am considering just going back to 18350 batts for it as the larger hole requires a larger mod anyway. I am thinking of tapering the top and bottom a bit for a slightly waspish look and also making a thicker door that is tapered around the edges to meet the mod to make a more robust door less prone to warping and thick enough to enable me to add deeper and fancier engraving. Thats about it though, but I like the idea as that will also allow me to center the tank hole as it is offset now to allow a thicker door and thinner inside wall. It would look better with the tank centered I think.

I think you can do a contest whenever you like ... or Cinco De Mayo is this weekend.

Is it? Good grief, my neighborhood is gonna be crazy this weekend then ... ah well, one advantage of going to bed at 5am I guess,

 

[pchela]

Yes, one of the few advantages... who am I kidding? I love staying up late. It's nice and quiet, nobody bugging you...

 

[ime5000]

cappy i sent you a pm with some info and some rough ideas i thought you might like, im ill be aroudn a little bit, but i had a real busy day,
got to see a demonstration by a prison crt team (basically prisons version of swat) do a bus extraction, hostage situation, and riot formation. they were shooting bean bags out of shot guns, smoke grenades and flashbangs. i actually got hit by some stuff flying out of the flashbang and burned my shirt! haha
i gotta get the videos uploaded to you tube at some point and ill share when i do, it was pretty cool

Does it make wiring more complicated to put the battery-voltage-check function back in just like the 5.1 cutlass prototype? I did kill a few atties with that function but it was just a matter of getting used to a new habbit. I haven't killed one for long time now that my habbit is set.

I think it was a brilliant function, and it's probably much less confusing with only one switch rather than two. I miss it sometimes when I go out in hurry and unsure of remaining battery on my destroyer. I think it's nice to have such a unique and convenient function since other mods don't offer it, and unlike most of us not everyone is good with using multi-meter or even have one.

Arrr, hmmm, do you want dual mode atty killer or just a battery check? If it is just a battery check then it would be pretty simple I think. Sitting in bed with my laptop atm, but off the top of my head I would just have to find someplace to put a small pushbutton that when pressed connected the battery directly to the led, presto.

Now, where the heck could I hide a small push button in a mod already using every bit of space.....arrrr

 

[buckarette]

Could you explain this feature a little more? I've recently become a rsm fan and just snagged a cutlass mark 5.1 off of the classies.
