Distinct split between the upper and lower bouts. Nice design, Tony! Will you be doing a Bo Derek model as well? Alex |

Not wanting to be prudish about this Tony but this brought to mind the words in the John Prime song “Speed of the sound of Loneliness”. “It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow, It's crossed the evil line today”

While I wrestle with the large number of jokes trying to get out (all of which would aid in getting this shut down) I will take time out to notice a flaw in workmanship. There seems to be signs of a crack developing towards the bottom of the plate. |
