Holy Smokes! You did it again. Fantastic work. Love the airbrush highlights on the horsie. The color choice looks like it came right out of a fantasy book. Be proud, ya done good.

thasnks ron,thats a great compliment,i think im going to start restoring antique stuff,i need to get a few bucks in the coffers,lol.
right now im looking at and thinking of restoring a 1940's to early 50's baby stroller,i know that sounds funny but it has "tee nee" type fenders on it,lol,its very cool.
it also converts from a stroller to a walker,very cool design,it would be great for someone that has a tee nee trailer and have a stroller to match.
what i have coming in is less then what is going out,i gotta do something,and this is about all im good at,lol,john
