Colombia build for my daughter DONE!

[corysmeltzer]

Last summer I built up a bike for my oldest daughter... she was really happy with it mainly because I had her pick out the color so it was more personalized for her. Here is a link to that build: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=53328

...So now it is time for my youngest daughter to get one done up. We had this Colombia Converti-cycle for a while and it was all faded so we used it. The converti-cycle part is because the top bar can be removed to make it a girl's bike or on to be a boy's bike... like a Schwinn Bantam but this is more like a tank.

I actually have this done already but just getting around to posting about it.

What we started out with:

Here is the pieces hanging to totally dry. I taped off some of the parts after the purple dried to add some white to break it up a bit. Then a bunch of clear.
