Since Drifter doesn't make a Hellhound in a shad pattern, I thought I'd try painting my own.

If you run windows XP here is the easiest resizer you will find http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.... about half way down the page on the right you will see "image resizer" download it and then you can right click on any picture and pick from a couple different options to resize to with just one or 2 mouse clicks. Don't know why they just don't include this with xp, it is the handiest little program I've found for that application.

I just checked the Drifter site and I didn't see a shad pattern for the Hellhound. That's why I bought the blanks. If you have one I'd love to see a pic of if you have any though.

No problem Mota, I've been using that program for about 2 years now and still can't believe how simple it is, there is no easier way to resize a picture. What I never figured out is being that the program is from microsoft why they never just added it to XP and why they haven't come out with one for Vista yet.

Good job to both you guys on the hellhound paint schemes, they all look like fish catching patterns.

I'm hoping it turns out to be a fish catching pattern.
