Did any one notice:

That you used the pro hub shaver on the blue wheels also?
The axle heads are sunk into the hubs.

PWD addict,

Derby evolution stencil. I would suggest cutting out some practice stencils using blue painters tape and wax paper. Great for practicing painting. I also used a small piece of cardboard to block off the areas I did not want covered. Got this idea from watching you tube videos of street spray paint vendors, painting then selling their wares.

These hot rod flames came out well. I am looking forward to practicing some alternative color schemes too.
