    If'n it were'n me I don't believe I would have used one my signature stencils on a project I didn't want to do for a person that had made my life miserable. All that aside the stencil looks really great !!

    I have 55 more of them just like this! The next batch will be modified a little, because some of the pieces were WAY too delicate, and I ended up cutting those pieces off! Compare the yellow decal pic to the finished product to see what I mean.

    Hey ModFather, can you make me one of those little cars, except chop the top, and craft me a perfect little six-point roll cage replica for it, and make some little seats that are perfect replicas of my Corbeau LG1s, and cast me some little 949 6UL wheels, and and and...

    Because I hear you LOVE mucking with little model cars...

    :devil:

    Oh yeah, I'll pay you whatever's fair. $20 should about cover it, right?

    There is a GREAT feeling in 'firing' an assholic customer. I've done it a few times :)

    So use metal next time for the model (I have one someone gave me as a gift). There is a market for this, you go on LXM with this and you'll have a lifetime of work. And it's the gift that keeps giving, you know they'll mod their car further and want the replica to look the same....

    If it were me, I'd personally deliver it to Chris. Let him get a good look at it while it's in your hands, point out all the detail, then accidentally drop it, stumble, and step on it. He's already got his refund.

    He was actually happy about getting it back. Granted I wont do anything else for him, but at least things are set straight.

    Will do more in my free time, but I don't have much of that anymore... I am looking for an R56 steering wheel if anybody has one they don't need though.

    Its getting down to crunch time to plan out paint jobs for pieces to be sold at the Dragon... And I'm still clueless!
    Give me ideas, and I just might make it happen...

    R53 mirror caps with a red dragon theme.

    For metal sculptures I don't think you can go wrong with some rusty little dragons. Maybe incorporate a part that says MINI or Mini on it.

    Unfortunately I don't have any R53 mirror caps.

    I've got ones for an R56 (non power fold) and a set for a Countryman/Paceman though... As well as stock intake box covers for the same...

    What about a "rat rod" take on the Union Jack for a set of the mirror caps?
