Love the WWII nose art! I need a case like that for my 10/22 M1 Carbine!

Looks good. Best one yet in my opinion.

That is Awesome!! The B24 called "A Dragon and His Tail" would make a great case painting.

Nicely done. I think if you weren't in CA I'd have you paint some of my cases.

As someone who attended the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends a couple years ago, I have to say...that is freaking awesome! Great job!

+1--call me weird but I actually like the pin up's from WWII....maybe one on my truck after I get it painted..hmm

This was how the Collins Foundation B-24 was painted a few years ago when they came to town. The latest newsletter I got from them shows their B-24 painted up as Witchcraft. I took a ride in the B-17 Nine o Nine that morning.

Don't mean to thread jack...that gun case looks fantastic. Would you entertain painting cases for customers?

Ok... Yeha.. the Dragon is NO... I cant paint that one up.. sorry kids and wife thing..


As for the Nine O None...

Bin there, done that.. Hahahahaa..

I knew what Mustang it was as soon as I saw it. Big Beautiful Doll would be a good one to do as it's one of the most colorful, and well done IMHO, P51s of WWII. I flew in A Dragon and It's Tail a few summers ago... It was AWESOME!!

Transfer those painting skills to cornhole boards, you have a potential TON of money on your hands! Those cases look great!
