  1. came out great , love it !
  2. jut added some small things , placed the ss grille on the side on the inner guard and the front bumper is shoved in the car through the window , weathered added a turnsignal(s) and put a '53 ford pick up fender against the wall , a car part that fits with the barn and farm theme .. bit of a mix between ...
  3. first time on forums i tried using richard , didnt work , tried numbers behind my name ... nope all taken .. then came to crarzy richard after several tries .. and basicly stuck with it .. almost every forum i'm on i use this name ....just was a fluke and sometimes i can be a little crazy hahahaha
  4. harry hang in there !!!!
  5. a outside vieuw on the whole gun and protect yourself thing > living in holland where nobody other then law inforcement can carry or own a gun , and only people in very rare gun shooting ranges can get a permit if they have a immaculate history . they can own a gun but have to store it in pieces and in a safe , never put together and never have ammunution , transport it under strickt rules from their home to the gun range and only can assemble and fire it there on the range .... i'm a bit inbetween on the subject one part of me thinks its good if you cn defend yourself in your own home or on your on propperty ..but then this could be used the wrong way ....so part of me thinks yes i want us (europe) to be able to own a gun in our own home for protection .. on the other hand i'm thinking the opposite way .. we almost never have shootings , gun are hard to get hold of (not impossible) ... when somebody iss shot its breaking , breaking new and seems alian to people , like whow !!! really !!! .. what really is striking and sometimes makes me angry ... when somebody breaks into our home and we protect our family .. and strike him down or even kill him if i have to .. we get arrested and trialed .... storys like a burgular who broke in , homeowner kicked hi ass and he got into a wheelchair .. and the homeowner has to pay his whole life because he became invalid .... come on !! how stupid ... the guy breaking in decided to do so and knew the risk right ??? i can go on and on .. sstill i'm on the middle line on the subject ....i would say it good when you have the option to shoot a nother person , when your life or the life of your loved ones i really in danger .. and then i still think the best option would be to disable him with a bullet ... for arrest ....but thats a perfect world .. thi will always be a tough subject with people for and against it ... me ... i can find myself in both sides and think its hard to decide or pick one side ...
  6. yes i put them on 1mm thick brass metal plate .. you can even make a slight curve in the sign !! ... best way is > 1. print the sign on the smoother side of matte photo paper . 2. then i take clear tape and put it on the logo / sign with white paper around not cut to size. 3. then i deside if the sign needs to be gloss or weathered if weathered i sand the clear tape top with superfine sandpaper so it matte .. the tape actually makes the sign glossy 4. i put 1mm thick double sided tape on the back of the print / sign . 5. i stick it on 1mm thick copper plate , you can use whatever you can find 6. i cut it all to size with a large harp pair of scissors .. 7. i take a black marker and go along the side edges this hides like the white ide and brass .. the reason i use tape on top aand double sided paper on the back is that the print will stay in tact .. wont run or get moist from glue or clear and i downsize it with adobe photoshop , my verssion has a bug that i cant get rid of . when i use the size it wont print out in the correct size .. so i have a supersimple way i have a master file / picture with a small sign on it and i jut copy my sign on that file and resize it by eye with the one sin on there i know is correct and use my eyes to size it .. for a exact size i can messure the sign on there and then figure out the right size .. thnx dan .. it been sitting still for a week , not feeling good a 100% atm , bad headaches
  7. whow awsome stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. great start on the bodywork , i can imagine it will give you some things to think about and trial and error ...
  9. i use a brand of clear from a can that always becomes suer super smooth , only available here but i tried polishing mine ounce and that was a bad idea .. went dull ..i think the automotive clear can be polished .. i recommend a test spray and polish on something else
