                Hehe! Yeah, that was the whole point. I wanted some sort of graphic, but not the usual flames and scarey sculls. I may sand it and shoot some more clear coat on it soon.

                  Paint looks OK, pity about that thing hanging off the front.

                    Nice job, Skids. I did mine in teddy bears and rainbows. It looks great, but I get beat up a lot...

                          It would clash with the Beast (78E) and the Rat (81H/G).
