WOW now that is unique. Good on ya bud..... I am really looking forward to seeing it all finished. So when do you get her back?

 

Hoping about another week.

 

The Colour looks more pink than its going to be. The base paints are silver, then, blue n lastly the pink. will make it more a magenty Pearl n nowt like the nurrish wheel fiasco.

That bright pot of paint scares me :headhurt:

 

Similar to all the other posts - I'll have to wait and reserve judgement until the final pictures. However, if it all comes together as well as you plan we'll have to commend your vision for such a project :clap:
