I apologize to the purists out there, but I had to give it a little something. Embossed OC 55, finally done.

I think James is possibly referring to the later model decal on the side loading door. I may be wrong...or maybe it's supposed to have a low boy frankenstein mech instead of a tall boy mech? either way...looks real nice!

Think he means the shadowing on the lettering?

Either way it looks great, congrats

All my machines are hand lettered. This one was the biggest challenge yet as the embossing makes it difficult to shade

I agree, can you post a good pic of just the lettering / embossed area?

Here is a close up of mine. That smudge next to the "K" in DRINK is not a paint flaw. It's a reflection or some weird pixillation (as that even a word?) in the photo.

This was hand lettered, and Crushy was airbrushed.
