That looks Amazing!

I know what you mean about it not being "as much fun if it was too easy".  Sometimes, greater difficulty brings with it a greater sense of accomplishment.

It would be interesting to see what it looks like against a plain black or blood red background.

Hello rbdflyboy,

this is an excellent work, and very detailed.

[rbdflyboy]

Thank you both, Al13N and bitsnpcs. Used both black and blood red backrounds, they look awesome. Decided to tone it down and picked a reverse gradient to high light the offsetting areas. Must say this one took over two days to complete...gold effects are much easier to produce than chrome. Certain filters are not working in my Gimp, it's either a lack of knowledge or they're broken. For now must manipulate color and other filters to get close. From my perspective, the only thing really missing here is the deep chrome shine, with that solved the shine will come thru. Shinned  my own bikes back in the day, isn't much out there shinier than triple chrome.
