Very impressive...

Good use of color and patterns. You've got a real head turner there!

Very nice. This is what makes homebuilt campers so wonderful - the character of the builder can shine through.

Very nice Kristi. :o My Daughter Debbie loves art like that, she has a sunburst on her fence. I have thought about putting one on my sailboat.

Wow, you all are too kind!! :oops: :D

I was a little worried my offbeat decorative style might not be well received, but you all put those thoughts to rest, LOL! Thank you for all of the kind words. Believe it or not, I'm actually kind of shy in person (at first anyway)...but I crave bright colors and fun, non-traditional vehicles, LOL! :lol:

Thanks again for all of the positive comments!

(P.S. - there may be some stained glass (plexi) in the 'Mander's future :whistle: )

Kristi, your design blew me away! I scared my sleeping dog when I scrolled down far enough to see the exterior shot and yelled, "Wow!". It woke him up and he started barking, thinking someone was at the door.

Very clever and fun. You are going to get more attention than you ever dreamed! Get ready to have to not be shy to strangers 'cause they are gonna come talking to you. Can't wait to see it completed. See you at the LCG! :applause: :thumbsup: :applause: :thumbsup: :applause: :applause:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Fun Approach to blinging up your tear, Heck, what pitch will the whistling be? Might be a nice sound, IF it happens

Now that I'm back from the LCG gathering, I have tons of ideas for trim/finishing work...everyone was so helpful and willing to offer construction tips! It'll probably be next weekend before I can get back to work on the 'Mander, but I'll post new pics when I do.
Thanks for the request, LOL! 8)

what pitch will the whistling be?

I have no clue, but it would be cool if it DID whistle it's way down the road, LOL! :lol:
