Couple reels I painted/pieced together

I've been hoarding and snatching up broken, beat up, and some working daiwa reels for a while now. Mostly for parts for my reels if something breaks. Well, I was sorting through the bin a few nights back and realized I had enough stuff to piece together three reels.
They are a mix of tdz 103h, fuego, 100m, and some zillion parts.
I decided since the side plates and frames looked like they got ran over by a combine, that I should probably try to spruce them up.
I put quite a bit of time in these jokers! It will consume more time, way quicker than you can imagine. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
The black/fluorescent green one is done in a hammered style paint with black as the primary color on the plates. The rest were black base with the green applied to give it the splattered look.
Sorry for rambling. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif i just got done and it's still fresh in my mind.
