Yeah I meant Jester, but it is sort of strange that after all these years there hasn't been a G10 Ladybug.

Just finished up a Paramilitary 2 with black & blue layered G10 in a large Anso pattern. Although it isn't shown this is a right hand carry... tip down configuration...

My grandfather is a mechanic, so all I had to to do was go to his house and use his.

How do you fill the bug? Is it nail Polish? I may have to try it with some nail polish if my woman has some good black nail polish.

Nice, smooth job Stony. :cool:
David, that's right cool. Is it paint or polish? Brushed looks good after only seeing stonewashed and blasted for a while.
- best wishes, Jazz.

I just used a bit of flat red Testers enamel modeling paint. It takes a few layers to get enough build up in there that it doesn't look pink.
This clip was painted in high temp ceramic paint and baked. It ended up scratching off anyway, so I stripped the paint off the best I could and acid etched it. Turns out the paint stripper didn't get down into the bug, and the acid etch wasn't strong enough to eat it away, so the bug was left with a tan filling. This is one of my favorite clips, I'm gonna try to do the same with the red at some point.
