Is somebody a bit bitter or just get out of bed on the wrong side this mornin??.
Anyone trying to make a living for themselves has it tough enough, especially in todays financial climate. Without people trying to scare them off!!
How many members on here actually 'contribute' rather than just view the forums?? (mentioning no names!!) my guess is a lot!!
Looks to me like Gregg is offering a service to the site, if that is not contrbuting i dont know what is!!!!

Good luck pal...you got my backing!!!

well said guys !!!

some of my first shells were crapola and people were only to quick to pick fault but after a while the same people wanted me to paint their shells

as Blitzboy says when you cant see over the pile of shells youve cracked it

keep practicing mate you will get there and if you need help please feel free to ask

Paul

the only thing I would recomend, just do them for people you know right now, and get as much practice as you can, in, it takes ages to perfect things, and then you still learn.
