too "Elton John" for me. it's the silver one with the embossed leaf pattern. i dunno what i was thinking......for some reason i was thinking it was going to be "smooth" silver.

anyhow.....would anyone be willing to trade up a Black or Red one for this? i would flip the bill for shipping both ways.

i'm more of a "Steve McQueen" type of personality.
you can PM me or just post here.

Or rock the pink.

I have a red small one. It's not quite red enough for me. :)

[edit to note] Although it's nearly identical in red with white lettering and black interior to match your team logo. If you want it, drop me a PM. I'll pay shipping on my side, and I'm bored with it anyway. I'll shoot some high-res imagery if you want to check it out first.

Did the canadians win the silver medal in vaping?? Or did cheech and chong find the lost ark of the weed god?

I never thought about this before, but are those pot leaves? :lol:

Oh, and IMO, the real Elton John one is the zebra. :D
Haha I thought that at first too but they're closer to maple leafs. Still it is a bit fruity looking, on par with zebras, but if you order the zebra one I guess there's no denying your fruity taste.

I made thr same mistake JZ thinking that silver would just be plain silver. I would like to see one them offer one in chrome or a gun metal grey.

i actually posted in the Modders forum for case designs. i came across a lot of Russian Analog cases. NOW.....there are tons upon tons of military badges, ethnic talismans etc. that you can epoxy to the outside.

now not being Russian by a long shot i still think the KGB and SPETSNAZ insignias look very cool.

Gun Metal or Graphite etc....you CAN achieve by removing the piano hinge pin so you can pull the two outside pockets from the frame and use automotive paint from AutoZone, AdvanceAutoParts etc. to get some real good looking color to it. YOU HAVE to clear coat it though to maintain a clean deep finish.

it's a bit of a task i know but, i've painted many models, slotcars and did a lot of collision work.

like i was telling Adrenalynn though the Leaf pattern case is too much metal to grind and smooth out.....HOWEVER you can make that pattern really pop! a good color example would be leave the frame silver......paint he pattern gold THEN paint the insides of the leaves a deep blue or red. taadaaa...."Faberge!" OR just a series of CANDY coats to give you CHROME GREEN, CHROME BLUE etc.

i am really into the House of Kolor.

like....here's a slotcar i stripped down and redid a long time ago......
