Im considering having my own design made. I've heard tell of a place that'll make custom aluminum for 400-500 bucks.


I need to finalise the design and see what they can do.

Haven't done much in a while, but that is about 1% of my 3d doodlings.

Need to finish tank though. Need to get measurments and sizes done properly.

you've inspired me to do it virtually first myself...that way i can work out the cuts accurately...

when i did the SS tank i just started bashing - a Rhino drawing will be an asset...

robot Nautilus, very cute.

Quite a few aren't showing up, for some reason, dunno why.
Glad you like the little nautilus guy. He was an idea for a movie by a friend.

      mlinder, I'd completely forgotten about your talent and so I'll have say again as I did the first time I saw an example of you designing, Great job! I can only imagine what that would look like on a cafe'd
74' CB450K7 (I've got the 450K7 but, it's not cafe'd, yet).

Thanks Bill.
My girlfriend wants me to start designing stuff and having it made, see if people want to buy my designs.
So, this will be my first 'product' when I'm done designing it.
I think these in aluminum would kick ass on a cb.
