Get some tape around the. Bottom of the grip and it will look 30% better. I know that is a ridiculous thing to say!

Well done. It is 100% better than I could do!

That looks a super effort, the profile reminds me of an old M&H High I had.

Agree with @Buzz about the tape though - I hate seeing that gap between the grip and the stickers too!

Keep it going, you've definitely got some talent :)

Lovely work, any particular reason to why the spine ended where it did?
