Progress is still slow as so many other things get in the way of working on my Monster, but.
There has been a little tangible progress. I've been snatching to opportunity to get paint on when the weather has been suitable to do this outside. I found I was still going through to metal after rubbing the second coat of primer down with 1200, so I've resorted to my old trick of putting a bit of base coat in the 2K primer to distinguish it from the lower layer and act as a depth gauge. I slipped a bit with the red and a bit more went in than intended, but I really like the result. So much nicer than looking at grey tanks for so long! Note Buzzer; Orange is not the only colour. Also commissioned some masks for the tank lettering, which I will spray on. I worked with this company earlier this year to produce some stained glass designs in translucent film which a specialist glazing company then made into sealed units. We pushed the boundaries together and achieved a stunning result using techniques not used for this before. It was quite flattering the way they all welcomed me when I stepped in... I wonder if I'll get my masks a bit cheaper?
