Sir Brian:
I think you've got a winner there! Not sure if you can improve upon
perfection!  ;)

...Of course the real test will be cutting the stencil out! (I always sucked
@ that part!)  :-[

btw Sir Edward your shield is in the mail! I sent it the same method
you sent it to me...except it weighs a bit more because of the paint and
the Ailetts. I also included a painted aluminum plate so you can practice
your stenciling technique. The painter also wanted to relay to you that
if you wanted to paint over the blue epoxy, you should rough it up a little
by sanding it with some 200 - 240 grit sandpaper.

 

Sir Edward:
You're right, cutting it out will be interesting. I'm planning to do very careful cutting with an xacto knife.

Awesome about the shield! Thanks again for helping out with this. Let me know what the shipping was, I'll send a check with the business cards.

I'll keep the sandpaper in mind. That's the mistake I've always made in the past is not roughing up surfaces... then I wonder why the paint flakes off so easily. I've only recently started to get that through my thick skull. :)

Das Bill:
I think that looks great, Ed! And the head no longer looks like it should be vs. Predator. ;)

Hahah, I hadn't made that connection. It looked more like a watermelon seed to me. :)

And Brian, you're on!
