I'll look for pics of it, but theres one I've seen that has like a Japanese flag theme where the red sun is in the bottom left corner and the red rays of sun come out of it. One of the dopest I've ever seen.

There some pretty cool ones on there, dont know how i missed such a big thread

I think i have decided, i've already painted the block red and was going to do the head gunmetal so was thinking about doing the japanese sun style but with gunmetal instead of the white? or should i just go with the white?
