Default MrsFrog the mechanic and bufty.

Received a new hose from 3drStretch the other day to replace this mess:



So MrsFrog took matters in her own hands and decided to have a go at fitting it.



And here's the result



Oh, and she was also spotted buftying...



Looks like a little race mechanic in the making



Methinks I might be in for a bit of this after this post though

Can't wear nails! That's the down side of doing beauty, you can put a set of nails on others, but you can't really wear them yourself... (facials, massage...) .

I just need to get all the parts together now... might take me a lil while....
