That looks awesome! I'm building a Cracker at the moment, but things have "run out of steam" :lol: a bit, not had the time, and when I have, the workshop has been full of little kids pissing about sanding bits of wood into spears and stuff... maybe I should have made a grenade launcher first :twisted: :lol:

So I look forward to seeing your build, looks like it'll be nice.

this only the second I have ever known of for sale. I think you have to find someone who has started it as a project then lost interest
