You know what Kev, I wouldn't sign write it! I'd keep it really subtle, like it is now. Beautiful.

I do like it plain blue but the plan was always to name it!
Its being done by a proper old school artist / signwriter I used to work with 25+ years ago, its the last thing he'll do before retiring to spain later this month to work on his golf handicap Cool

Those of you with long memories might remember the start of this thread about a quick build to get to ebi3 almost 7 1/2 years ago... Shocked
After being tucked away for 'a couple of months' in October 2014 I pulled it out of hibernation today... Time to get it done!😎
