looks proper mint that mate, looked at first pictures u posted and i thought that black case with green lines looked good, but now it amazing.
Do you do this as a job also, or is it just a hobby?

cheers
a little bit of both, but more hobby i guess.

its come to a grinding halt today as i cannot find my keys !!
 
RB have you never thought of doing these cases to order? You could make some good money doing these i reckon, looking on these forums people seem to be closely obsessed with what there case looks like! and having case looking as cool as yours do would be mint!
I know its time consuming doing them, but i know i wouldnt mind waiting for one if i had the money! lol. :D

Looks amazing. Are the bits in the bottom left just where you have been testing your airbrush out?

correctemundo.
the brush, over time gathers dried paint and other stuff so sometimes you need to test before usign it on the acctualy piece !
or if i need to set a line width up right ill test it down there.
 
Sorry for being a nit-picker but the scale of the sythe (and especially its grip) is all wrong - makes it look like a sickle :o

The 'stem & grip' should be much lower down (out side the visable area) But there nothing wrong about holding the 'snach' (shaft to most people) when holding a sythe upright on it's end.

Image of real one - note that due to the curve, a stem is not required to ofset the grip

That said I still love it :D

lol i just made it up :O
a such shaped stick is very hard to position right on a piece like this, so one must use a certain degree of artistic license just to make it look pleasing or normal.
i aggree the grip really is a long long way down the snatch, but it just wouldnt look right without it i think.
then again i could photoshop it and see. but i believe in order to make soemthign look 'right' to laymen, you have to use artistic license.
hell a dentist would FREAK if he saw this !

the skull shouldnt look like it does. skulls dont look like that !

the last one i did i had the blae coming out the top of the shaft, like on those 2 pictures, but this one i wanted a more hand crafted look so made it with rope bindings, so i know that wrong ><

i do know what your saying though and i appreiciate your honesty and oppinion. but i think i will go with what i think works with this one :)

form a head on angle id looks better i think:
