Default Quite possibly my best buzzer ever...

It looks good to me, my buzzers normally look like they're obese chocolate cake eating monsters that need a gastric band not the slim perfect models posted on here.

So I decided to simplify and cut it down to 4 materials
  1. Hook
  2. Thread
  3. Orange antron
  4. Varnish

And it looks good to me.

According to a certain Mr Kite from about 60 years ago, you're still heavy by 2 ingredients.

Looks like it Rob
Come on Al must try harder

Less is generally more and this should work a treat.

Definately a good smallwater buzzer I'd be tempted to add some varients with a little flash, maybe as ribbing or cheeks - but keeping that slim profile
