Good one Joe.......had me cracking up this morning

 

Good comedy is all about the timing. You provided the source material and I took advantage of it. Hope you're having a great day my Brother.

I don't know about everybody else, but I just got my Christmas present. This is the first time I can remember you showing the process John.

No more eggnog or fruitcake for me. My holiday is done.

Now, go to a web Thesaurus, search the word "Beautiful", and apply all forms and variations.

You just returned the favor Brother J. I laffed hard enuff to warrant changing boxers when I saw the fork in it.

Thanx Bro, I NEEDED that.

[Mooneyzs]

John... I am loving how this turned out. It is flat out Bad A$$. I absolutely love the little faded graphics that was applied to the tank. That fine line break and fade just top it off. This turned out gorgeous that for sure. That is too funny with the pic of the fork in the bike... . The details on this build are just killer. Real Nice job on this one.

Looking real good!

Dude, you continue to impress with your paint (and overall modeling) skills.  That looks awesome and I like the fact you took time along the way to show how you did that. For those of us that will never be able to paint like that (myself) it at least gives us something to strive for.  Thanks again John......like everyone else, I'll treat the fork humor as a bonus.     Cheers, Tim
