I think the lightning looks pretty decent. Heck, better than I could have done first time out with an airbrush :)

But I'd say nix the chrome legs and go with something else. I dunno what, but the chrome just isn't doing it for me.

thanks for that, the legs I cut from an old turnstyle I had lying around from my business, so they were freebies and a one off, if I build another, which I am sure I will, I will need to use something else.

I agree with drventure, maybe cap the top of the legs and paint them a flat black or something....but overall great job!  :cheers:  Was this a scratch build or did you overhaul an old cab?

What else you have "under the hood"?
