my neighbor liked the natual wood and didnt want me to paint it lol so i just painted some eyes and added hooks... doesnt swim the greatest but it has an "injured" wobble to it i am proud to call it mine... plus if you slightly jerk it, it looks cool one pic is before paint the other of course is after i want to learn how to do the foil and the photofinish
