Re: Diamond Frames

Re: Diamond Frames
Yep , them's the one's ! The last one (B) was inspired by the HD springer , but I recently saw a Brough Superior with a set of forks that looked like I had copied them !

Re: Diamond Frames
I used to draw on the back of cigarette cartons, then I gave up smoking....then I started drawing on beer mats but I gave up going to pubs regularly....I've run out of napkins so I guess I'll just have to settle for getting my daughter to draw it using a CAD package
