Looks good to me. I tell people these are not show pieces, they are construction models made for working. I agree with you though, painting is a pain. I painted my truck with the wrong paint and it didn't dry so I had to clean that sticky mess off and start over . Great model you have going though!!

I remember reading about your paint not drying. Your truck looks great now though! I think it has a lot to do with the weather right now and the fact that I'm an idiot and don't leave each coat long enough. The shop has heat but it's more for humidity control and when it's snowing outside it's probably only 50 or so degrees inside.

I spoke to my father inlaw last night and he said that he would have the cylinders done this week and hopefully get started on the pumps and valves as well... I'm a little excited... I hope he has the time.

Thanks Reg

Wooo-Hooo some of the paint is dry! I still have a lot of painting to do but I couldn't resist putting the pieces together... some of them may still be tacky but.... Oh ya, I know you guys love the couch but it's not for sale!lol
