pfenlon Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 thank you all for your kind comments, Black is a difficult shade to get right, and I will have to be content with my amateur efforts but I will persevere. cheers for the advice Stuart, the wings doors bonnet and boot are going to take a while too. Chris I shall plug some holes and glue stainlesss on the flat bulkhead holes. Mike I am not a purist, its for me to use. Nick flatting again due to my own poor prep work pinholes dust, dirt, overspray, and fly / spider trail, proper masking helps a lot here though. Andrew, what teeth? Pals can be so cruel! PDykins, can I send you a pic of when I had coloured hair? you sod. tomorrow I find out how much the job has cost so far, fingers crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
