Default What colour shall i do my saph

A title suggests i have in the pipeline a restored shell which is going to be completly bare so i am going to take advantage of it and change the colour to something a little bit different ,
I was thinking mallard green with white comp mo,s as i love the colour but i am going to ask you guys to post up some pics of your saphs to give me some inspiration //

thanks guys in advance
