Thanks for looking!!
My wife really liked your set up too, and boggled when I showed here where you are in the world Hehehehehehehe

I am posting some pics of my art for you.
Please bear with me, I dont show this stuff very often.

#1 a bladed heart
#2 Darkness from the old Tom Cruise/Tim Curry movie "Legend"
#3 a scene from a story a world I created when I was 14 years old
#4 a study in armor detail on a medusa themed monster
#5 a rose I did with felt pens...

Nothing special, I just have some talented pens and pencils I think.

Enjoy

Hahaha hope google found it lol Czech republic is super small country in the middle of Europe. Pretty boring sometimes no crime and also not a big car scene... and NO truck scene. Oh well

Thank you very much for posting your works here. I know how it feels to show your stuff in public. I wasn't always confident to do that too...
And I really dig your style! Nice details and colors WOW! And what a fantasy you have. I could never go this far! Awesome! How big are those drawings?

Thanks for the kind words, the sizes are vaired.
#1 a bladed heart = is the size of normal piece of copy paper
#2 Darkness from the old Tom Cruise/Tim Curry movie "Legend" AND
#3 a scene from a story a world I created when I was 14 years old = is half poster size
#4 a study in armor detail on a medusa themed monster = copy paper sized
#5 a rose I did with felt pens... = Greeting Card size

Decided that -23* was just too chilly to spend too much time at the junk yard this morning, I am trying to get the headlight buckets cut out of a donor core support for my pop up lights project.
Got both sides 75% cut before my batteries pooped out on me, and my toes and fingers were starting to protest.

So I came home and started in on my cab corner.

#1 is my donor section and my problem area.
#2 I started with cutting out the spot welds along the door jamb.
#3 Then I taped off and cut out the minimum of the problem area.

#4 I used the cut out problem area as a template, then holding the donor section up to the cab, I traced my cut lines again from the inside of the cab in a different color, and over size cut my patch. Then I slowly and incrementally trimmed the patch and the cab until the two fit up nice enough for me to start worrying about over doing it.

#5 I think as I tack weld it in I will be able to get that gap closed even more that it is showing in the pic. I only had a couple of vice-clamps holding it in place for photos.

Am done for the day, wife has dinner ready and I deserve some serious beers!
Check you all tomorrow!!!
