So Is Strafen going to suck upsidedown or only on one side? Just wondering.

Both Strafen and Saint Jimmy look fantastic!

I was considering doing an antweight version of The Saint myself, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. Are you thinking of doing interchangeable hammers, Dave?

I was also considering making TransparANT III in the same style as Bulletproof/Strafen/ANTipersperANT, so I might have to think of something else now. :P

They are indeed looking fantastic, great work Andy and Dave :)

Andy (Jackson rather than Hibberd), you could always take the approach of having a wedge and inverted wedge, but have it the other way around...so the inverted wedge is at the front and the normal wedge at the back...er...thing...heh...

The saint looks like its hard to get a hold of and to push- should be interesting to see if that is the same with ants...

Yes I am making interchangeable bits. I've wired it all up today and put a lid on it, weighs 130g, but I may change the lid for something lighter, doesn't need a 4mm HDPE lid. Getting everything in that barrel was hard work.
