    Oooh, pretty.

    All that wiring in the fairing is scary. Looks like all kinds of guts hanging out there. :eek: Piglet's not for me, but with my recent electrical issues, I'd be real nervous if I knew I had that bird's nest in there.

    I've been thinking about getting the airbrush out. I need to take a class or something. It's such a hassle that I dread it.

    I was NOT trying to take anything away from the fairing, but both my daughter and myself were TOTALLY in awe over the flames. I love the cracked rock looking HD bar and shield that match with the rock flames. :cool: Heck I cannot wait to see more!!

    Looks great!

    I was thinking that if they put a cast on my arm after the surgery, I'll try to airbrush some flames going up from my hand. That and I'll cut a tribal armband out of frisket and slap that on there too. :roflmao:

    I have enough trouble with canvas. Can you see me trying to airbrush on my own arm?
