    Default Australiana Shed Snake skins

    Hi All,

    Well, my trip to Thailand was great !! had a ball !! however I am back now and had to have my shed hit today.
    Got off to a good start two pens down with three to go and my neighbor came over to ask a favour.
    Sure I said !!
    It will let me try out the newly purchased metal lathe so pens were placed aside, and after checking a few critical measurements I made a start on some sized bushing /spacers so that he could position/align the rear wheel of his Harley Davidson after the fitting of a new drive belt. Worked a treat and we were both happy chappies, him more so as it saved him a few $$$
    With that job now out of the way, it was back to the pens and I managed to knock out the other three.
    The kits are all Executive Australiana Sierras from Timberbit's with all the shed snake skin blanks from Ian.
    The more pink coloured one is a Shed Stimson Python and all the others are shed South Western Carpet Pythons.

    I hope you like.
    Thanks
    Tony.

    Ian,

    Photos sent 4mb each though now coming back to your question re the Pink one. Pink is not my colour lol, it does give the blank a slightly different look however I do prefer to see more of the snakeskin with the more transparent tints. But then that's just my opinion.

    Cheers & Thanks
    Tony.
