The paint scheme on this lid was designed by my GF and painted over this weekend. She had never used an airbrush before. I did the nose only. All the rest is hers. I think she did a nice job!
You speak the truth. Heck, now she even paints her own. We're thinking of stopping by the LHS every so often and offering to paint lids for lazy people for a small fee. You know, just decent paint jobs for people who either hate to paint or just don't have the patience.
I'm ahead of you. I'll be finished paying for "The Ring" around Christmas 2005. Shes been wearing it since last year. Soon as we both change jobs and move to another state, we'll tie the knot.
