I have ordered myself a bit of everything, so will experiment and time the fuses accordingly, and hope to have a bit more of an organised launch this time!!
Will video it in action next weekend, and post a link up.
ProfHawking: yes it is a bit 'ott'to say the least, but my mate wanted it made to his spec. His idea was for them top be launched in set. So he came up with the circular design, so that the fuses leading from the middle never crossed the path of the other. Hopefully the pic will show the rough idea of it.

The catherine wheels scared the surface of the mdf a little, but nothing to bad!
The main fire seen in the vid was actually from the fountain mounted on the back of the launcher!!:
The copper only set me back about £30, so wasn't too expensive really. I had a load of timber lying around, hence it's a bit of everything! But it does the job! I didn't mind spending out on it as I keep it mounted on my garage wall, makes a nice ornament and makes me smile from the meories alone!

I never got the little yellow man back. It's a long story, but we send these 'bendymen' all over the world for photo shoots. We were hoping this one would come back so we could assess the damage!!
