Location: Land of the Musky		That is one sick looking design. Very nice. Really cool the way the gold/brass/copper gets set off by the green eyes. Nice contrast on the colors. I bet it looks 10x better in person vs the picture too.

Location: S.Wisconsin		I made stainless wings because the creeper is a bit larger and standard wings are a little small. They are quite shinny but i think gold plated wings would look better. Thanks for the compliments guys

It can be a pain at times to apply because it is so thin. It's not too bad if you are putting it on a flat surface. The pattern is on the sheet of leaf. It comes 6 sheets to a pack so you just go through and find the one you like. If you have any questions I am happy to help. Thanks for the compliments and I hope to get it finished early next week

Location: S.Wisconsin		Have you ever done a pull test on a correctly soldered loop? I will say that I have seen loops that have been soldered with the wrong solder or flux which is just as important and they will break. It may surprise you if you tried it and I would not make it this way if I thought it would fail. Thanks for the concern though. Thanks for the compliments guys
