kevin922 0 #1 April 18, 2003 OKay i got my new birdman suit in, all aluminized silver.. i ordered it this way with the intention of putting USAF graphics on the wings (front and back) and "rescue" arrows on the legs pointing to the cutaway handles.. kicking around the idea of having "NO STEP" on the tail wing on the back of the wing.. not sure on that one.. At any rate, i'm having trouble deciding if I want to go with Option 1 or with Option 2 So what do you guys think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #4 April 18, 2003 That suit is sick, Kevin. Remind me to wear my tinted goggles when/if I ever go flocking with you. Seriously though, I like it better with the colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #8 April 18, 2003 Its a fairly dirty p-shop. Not my best work, but I'm in the middle of some heavy, high-end web design, so I didn't care to do it right. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnischalke 0 #9 April 18, 2003 Sorry bro, I am not tooo toooo psyched up about either. Someday you might find yerself saying "What the fuck was I thinking?" Personally, I would leave it as is or airbrush scallops on the thing starting over the arms. That's just me and that's just my opinion, which as you know, ain't worth shit. On a side note, you could get that one paid for and then some by silkscreening the coors light logo on it and filming a commercial. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

KawiZX900 0 #10 April 18, 2003 you'll need a new cutaway pillow Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnischalke 0 #11 April 18, 2003 Did I mention how badass I think it is just the way it is? I'd suggest just dropping the USAF thingy off there all together if you are totally hell-bent on the star thingies.Again, just my personal opinion... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

nacmacfeegle 0 #14 April 18, 2003 I like that silver effect, what about going with a NASA theme?

Don't know what you mean but at any rate you can't airbrush on this fabric it won't stick :) can't silkscreen on it either based on what the people I talked to said..

dove 0 #16 April 18, 2003 Quote airbrush scallops I have a great recipe for scallops provencal! Yum!I like the color version best of the two options. But I think the suit is so damn hot just the way it is. Sometimes less is more, ya know? hehe - it just occured to me that I experienced the less is more phenomenon in a titillating way yesterday!

Cajun 0 #17 April 18, 2003 Well I think it's great (not like I'm the best a giving advice) But I would go with colors (or is it colours?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(i don't think mine would fit you.. small height diff between us.. hehe) If i'm out there this weekend you can take a gander at the fabric but my rigger used to be an airbrush artist and he said the stuff wouldn't stick...

mnischalke 0 #24 April 18, 2003 ummm, ya might be right about the size. I might be singing "Fat guy in a little coat" all the way to the otter. Ya might even be able to tell if I am circumcised wearing that thing. I have some dyes I used on my infinity to cover up the color change from smoke jumping. The dyes might just bead up on the surface, but you never know. It might actually dye the fabric and have a subdued color change in the silver. which could be extra cool. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
