These two are beautiful boards as usually.:eek: What are the parameters on Ray’s board? I hope to get my fat LaGlisse this winter. I am getting old for these skinny razors. I just saw Scalpel Premium. What is the difference compare “regular Scalpel”? Maybe Frank can write a couple words. Scalpel became mine most used board last winter. I am almost done with house remodeling so maybe is time for some new toy during the winter.:rolleyes:

Hi Ladia, your La Glisse is ready sitting here for you!

The difference between Scalpel and the new Scalpel Premium is that it produces more edgegrip and more running silence. Its very lite and works in soft conditions better than the Scalpel Titanium! So I think at the moment its an optimum combination!

I will post a few pics and also of a few new boards !:lurk:

My new Coiler Schtubby arrived last week. Woohoo! No more babying my circa '94 Oxygen F67 through the corners.

I'm waiting to put the TD3s on the board until the artist who did the topsheet gets a chance to see it. I held them up to the board, the red, aluminum and yellow colours match this board beautifully. The artist did a phenomenal job on the details of the topsheet. The rivets look like they are standing off of the board. You can see peeling and chipping paint. In one area where there is oxidized copper, you can see through to wood core.

I'm loving it.

Thanks for the comments. I dropped the artist an email. She's out of town for a few days. I'll post her name and email if she gives me permission.

Unfortunately it turns out the look isn't quite as original as I was hoping. I wanted to go with a "metal" looking board. Then I thought about how aircraft skins looked intricate with all the riveting. I ended up with three topsheet ideas.

1. A new board just being covered in shiny metal, wood core partially exposed

2. A new board completely covered in shiny metal, lots of rivets

3. A old metal board, rusty, patched, with exposed weathered looking wood core in places. I said to the artist think "Post Apocalyptic Armour".

I ended up choosing the old board after the artist did some samples of all three ideas. After the graphics had been finalized and sent off for printing a buddy of mine pointed out that there is actually a similar looking Donek topsheet. At which point I was like :eek::smashfrea :( :o. So now I appear have a Coiler that is masquerading as a Donek, talk about being on the fence:rolleyes:. I think the level of detail in my topsheet is a little higher than in the Donek sheet. The artist used images of corroded metal and assembled the topsheet from those.

Well Dave,

A similar theme perhaps but very unique none the less. Besides it's not like the Donek family isn't good company to be in.

Strangely just realizing that Donek's have yet to represent on this thread... Sean must have some swanky new decks out there....come on and show us your "topsheets"

Hi Frank that is a great news. I still plan to going to Aspen this winter so I can probably pick up board over there or if you will have some bigger shipment of board to States early maybe you can stick it wit it. In that case I have new address. The Scalpel was my board of choice last winter, which is the reason I am interested about new model. I will eagerly wait for pictures of some of yours creations for this winter.:eek:

I heard back from Megan the graphic artist who did up the artwork for my "Old Metal" Schtubby. Megan was awesome to work with coming up with several different roughs of the different ideas I had and then making edits to get to the final topsheet that is now on my board. Some of these edits included me saying "more realistic looking". If anyone wants to contact her, you can drop her a line at msmith_design@yahoo.ca

And another thumbs up to Bruce who kept answering my dumb questions about how to do this and what I needed to get because this is the first alpine board I've purchased in 15 years.
