Right, now that the madness of halloween has passed id like to turn my attention to shells. As many of you know I started making shells and selling them in a limited number since the summer but truth be told I wasn’t happy with how they were coming out. I was using a gelcoat that always stayed tackey and my glassing skills weren’t to a standard i was happy with, so overall shells havent been something I really wanted to offer…
Until NOW!..
Well after many many practice pulls ive finally got my casts to a point im VERY happy with. Ive swapped the gelcoat for my regular resin for the detail coat so any of you familiar with my casts will know its high quality stuff that wont shatter or crack. Also my hand layup skills have vastly improved, even to the point where im proud of my interior work
So, in celebration of this id like to focus my attention on casting shells and offering them to anyone who’d like one. I will be adding them to my store at http://www.nickatronprops.co.uk and also doing a mini run of 5 shells here for a lowerprice!! A great oportunity to get that new pack build off to a flying start. Not only that but anyone who gets in on the mini-run will get a FREE BUMPER of their choice (bigi or volguus)!!!
Price of the shell will be £210 GBP plus PnP (£15 UK, £27 europe, £78 USA and rest of the world. So that price along with the FREE BUMPER means you save a huge £75!!! The shells will also come trimmed and washed.

Ok here are the photos and a (crude) diagram showing how each shell is constructed.
Good looking shell Nick…think thats the first time ive seen the booster tube and ion arm cast into the shell before. How much of a bitch are those to pull?
Yeah, these were my thoughts exactly! The booster tube in particular had to be a PITA. Well done, well done - this looks ridiculously easy to work from.
It will probably be spring time when I’ll be financially able to make the purchase but full or half price I’m fine with whatever price I have to pay as both prices are an excellent price!!
Ordered a shell & mobo!!! Can’t wait to hit the ground running with it. First build for me. Already going after parts for it. What bumpers are compatible for it?
Either of the bumpers in my store fit my shell. You have the bigi bumper made by expert builder Bigi71 which I sell casts off with permission or the volguus bumper cast from a screen used bumper taken from Volguus’s semi hero pack.
