Ok, I got a PM from someone, wont say who, but he did point out that the wifey really does need to have a gift for X-mas, and I agree, but she and I usually get eachother iTunes cards, so that'll be one, I did get her 2 little rings, now for a necklace.
Next I need to get another one of those acrylic photo frames to cut for the visor, I got the blue mirror tint in the mail, so almost ready for the finishing touches on the bucket, then really get down to work on the soft parts.
I got an idea for the boots... I have an angular trash can that I can cut to cover the laces like a hard boot cover, I'll get a pic posted soon.
Ad' out.
