Hey! That is just a badass body, I think! Any chance somebody could send me the pattern for it? Maybe I have something lying around you might need......

The project is stalled at the moment  :sad: I think I'll send it off to the finisher to help kick start it again. Leslie I can make you a pattern no problem just pm your address
