Thanks for the feedback guys! Keeps a guy goin!

The tiki bar is kinda small, but out the back is a rum garden (no bloody beer garden here). It features a pool, spa, and heaps of tropical plants, as well as heaps of carvings by all the prominent TCers. There is a hut out the back for carving in and set up for tutorials, and one hut for the artists as well. These share their own tiki bar. Did I mention everything is supplied at "cost" price as it is a non-profit organisation, and any profits that may arrise are donated to poorer artists to pay for wood to carve and canvas to paint.

Yeh I want a woody, but way out of my price range. My mechanic recently offered me a Split-screen kombi panel van, lowered, matt black, updated running gear etc but she was too expensive :( I hope to get a bay-window kombi panel van at the start of next year. Give it a "patina" paint job, lower it etc. Oh yeh, big Hewey's Tiki Bar signage on the sides - just for the hell of it. Got some cool ideas for the interior too, but I will save those for another time. Depends on how far I gotta drive to work if I get this or not. Keep you posted!

Anyway, enough of my dreamin. Here is the latest. Did a traditional Maori style Tiki. But there was no detail on him so I gave him some tats to liven hime up. Would have worked better with a more traditional tat design I think. Looks like a bad ass frog!
