Okay, here she is stripped and polished a bit. It's a rough job, to see how it looks, so file marks are still visible, and edges are a bit rough. Keep in mind, working with hand tools and files is difficult... It really is shinier in real life, but like I said, it's an experiment phase. What I ask you is this: To paint or not to paint? I don't have the money to anno, and paint works fine. Or I could just clean it and polish it better. If paint, which color(s)? The Duracel scheme just wasn't doing it for me... |

Just shine it up until you get enough money for an anno.

But even if I do, the real question would be is $150 or so to anno all the parts worth it for a Spyder I could paint? And thanks for the input! |

Paint or polish it, getting a Spyder anno'd seems kinda pointless to me.

Meh. On second thought, that would be kind of funky... I think I'm just gonna polish it and use different color accents, like the front block, frame/grip, reg, drop/rail/asa, feedneck and all that good stuff. So, uh, which color? I'm thinking black, blue or red. Black would be easiest to get, methinks. |
