    Default A New Retro Claymore

    Just a thought I have a golden opportunity to rebuild a small number of Claymore's that will be looking like the Old Inca Tech Claymore with a very limited few in Gold Plate.
    But using better and more modern components, and not SMD.

    Do the panel think there is Market for the retro design.

    A lander from StarTrek perhaps. Certainly think the feet would have looked better within the edges of the casework. Retro is cool with me. I posted elsewhere how I add wooden end cheeks to modern kit so it looks a bit nearer my age.

    Nice, clean, simple layout. Yes, there's a market I reckon Colin and having heard the original in my system (courtesy of Ben), it'd be a winner, at the right price of course.

    The bodywork is very tasteful from where I'm sitting. I'm with the others in preferring tidier feet though. Gold plate is a nice touch.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
