Since I got the Rocc done, and since my son wants everything under the sun pythonized (lol)...I did a DTC HISS for him tonight.

Went with blue for the base coat...something different, but I like the look.

Thanks.

I use Sweater Bags, they are a brand called HOMZ Laundry. They are basically mesh nylon bags with a zipper...I just cut them up.

Thanks fellas!!

I think my next one will be a Rhino, got some vintage stuff to clean up...did some of that tonight. Tempted to pythonize a DEMON, but not sure if I can get myself to do it...I only have one other, so its up in the air at the moment. LOL

Do it (D.E.M.O.N.). Use a nice, dark, brick red as the color coat...it would look friggin' awesome!
