I know this isn't SW but I'm proud of it anyways. Darth Logos decided to cosplay Lucas Lee from Scott Pilgrim vs the World and I was charged with creating the board.

This started life as a tween's cheap Chinese pos skateboard. It was generously donated to the cause by one of my nieces, thank you Niece #1.


All sanded


There was no grip left so I had to create my own. Good luck guessing what I used in place of sand.


Had to seal it so it didn't chip off. Used epoxy and it turned out a bit shiny  Undecided


Didn't have time to order white wheels and purple just wouldn't do


Sealed the board with epoxy to make the wood grain pop and make painting easier.


Protractors rock


Not an ideal place for painting but this wouldn't fit in my spray booth


Lovely


Did another layer of epoxy to seal the paint job but had a bit of crazing. Had to sand to try and even it out.


Unfortunately I didn't have time for another epoxy layer to fix the oopses so I had to use spray enamel. I hate this stuff with a passion, you look at it funny and it crazes.


Finished product

A board fit for an A-lister!
The original graphic was epic too though. Roll Eyes

Great work there, Kath. I can see why you don’t want it damaged nor used.  Expect a point within the hour

Thanks guys.

Silenoz, its not the graphic that sucks, it's literally everything else. I don't think you can spin the wheel and get 5 rotations... a total War-Mart special.

Time and money were short. This is a prop so he can get by with the painted wheels tho if he ever decides to find a set of decent wheels I’ll pop them on for him.

Oh I know. I used to skate. Aside from the board being way to narrow for me, if I put Bones Swiss bearings in the unpainted wheels I would still end up cracking the trucks in less than an hour, and probably snapping the board. But again, as a prop, It's perfect.

I can see that. My point is that given your limited time, you did an excellent job to where you can make it usable if you wanted to.  Good eye
