Pretty sharp, draconarmy.  What do you have in mind for a tank emblem?

That's really sweet, and if you get that tank emblem done it would just top it off perfectly!

I had a set of reversed decals made, where the background is covered and the headress is blank. Pit them on, mask around them, paint the color you want, pull off the decal, and the headress and name is painted on rather than a decal. Never used them; decided to stick with a decal, so I could always return it to original if I wanted without painting; just pull off the add ons and decals, put the stock emblems and pipes on, voila! An original untouched Drifter...
