Nib/Slip Needle combo

Here is a needle I made and Nib painted - he has been bugging me to post a picture of it so you can all critique it.

Looks great to me! Great teamwork! You should call your joint effort a Slib....or a Nibknot!

My kids have hermit crabs too!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I need to see it closer like arm's length of less with an open escape route. Looks like I have something else to try to copy, that's a nice piece of work.

The eyes are some kinda irredescent eyes.
The plug color is dark dark grey with some kind of chameleon belly like gold. He used a big honkin' spro swivel and did a nice job on the wire wraps. The epoxy looks like envirotex but it has a small ruff spot above the nose area. I think this plug body was made with the plastic trim board stuff so it will be indestructable.
