Thanks again everyone.
Chris, I am going to paint very shortly a 4001. I would certainly paint a 4005 as a commission, but I will need to have a serious look at one to see if I would paint it on 'spec'. I hate to have my commercial hat on, but it is a lot of time & effort if it ends up hanging on my wall. I haven't failed to sell a painting yet, but a 4005 is a little specialist, so it is an unknown market.
I was wondering if you would consider sending me a couple of reasonably high res photos, if it's not too much trouble? One full length frontal & a body close up.
I do agree that a 4005 would make a wonderful painting!
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.
