i have had a few made up...and still have a couple of them....


kevin shannon roller....this one is a mirror image to all of the others he ever made...


my martin lester woman....
Martin came out with the 9' tall men...and i asked if he could make a woman one to go with...there is only 1....


my 1/3rd size sentinelle made by Ramlal Tien....


Roy Broadley Cyclops....


all Mantas by Focus Designs are custom


The kite i proposed to my wife with....she is a HUGE Red Sox fan but has zero interest in jewelry!
skin by Karl Longbottom


skate by Focus Designs

these are just some....there is always something special for you if you can make the kite your own....and even MORE so if someone else recognizes the fact that yours is different!!!

Man, I feel so left out.  I don't think I have anything that's custom.     Hmm.. trying to go through the list in my head, but it's too long.  I guess now I will have to order one?  Heh.
