| 3rd attempt at a body, first crawler
Recently my 4 year old neighbor passed away from complications of a premature birth that they didn't catch until this summer. He loved Spiderman and coming out to play when I had my rc's out. I decided to build a Honcho in his memory. Aidan, this ones for you bud. I used fasblack, fasblack pearl, and faswhite with pearl addative. I made the stencils myself. My picture taking skills, and cheap camera don't really show the depth of the color though |

Thanks, the honeycomb detail fades into the black quite nicely when not lit directly. I would like to say the stencil was really hard but I have a vinyl machine and a couple programs that quickly made up the stencil. Weeding out the small hexagons was time consuming and getting it to lay in the body over all the details was tricky, but I am very pleased with the result.

| Thanks, I had this build on hold and was using money I got from selling vinyl sticers/masks to get him a crawler but he didn't make it out of surgery.
