keisi Registered: 05/27/08 Posts: 1	Hey everyone this is my first post here on Macmod, and it is about my success at painting my MacBook Pro. I am really looking for some input on what you think or advice for any future projects, thanks for any input. Here are some pictures. The symbol is from the full metal alchemist anime, the philosophers stones transmutation circle "Scar's Tattoo" [attachment=0]<!-- ia0 -->DSC_1361 (2).jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment] [attachment=1]<!-- ia1 -->DSC_1487 (1).jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment]

Also, I dunno, I probably would have saved the apple logo somehow or worked it into the design somehow. Good work though. _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."
