Avanai GT 12 is available in Japan but I think will be difficult to access in Australia. You will find getting Jerry Brown in that colour off eBay much easier!
If it swims; I want to catch it!

All the underwraps now completed. I tried to play with some crosswraps but I have absolutley zero flair and ability to not make it look tacky. In the end I just did a very simple one using the highlight colours. I think it came through looking elegant, I hope it does anyway!!

Beautiful work Rohit.

How do you shape the EVA, is it some lave / knife?

Keep up the great creations.

Looks great - same colour as the flames off the Ford at Bathurst.

Frog 100lb braid is red - maybe an option for you.

Cheers

The factory team car of Frosty's which burst into flames due too dodgy electricals?  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Have to report, mission failure!

The on applying the epoxy the colour turned into not what I was after. I cleaned it up and rewrapped the lot. Looks much better now. guides going on next. Will post pics of the complete rod soon

Mrs is getting into the spirit of things now too! Check out the Maverick matching Sari. Looks like will be able to squeeze some time in to do the guides tonight, almost there. My maverick has arrived at my local. Hobbled over to day to fondle it. She is lovely

Looking like a great rod Rohit - will be a spiffo looking outfit when she's all bolted together.
