Thankx guyz.

Hmmm ... a lot more gold shines through in those pics. Ill grab some more this afternoon.

I was not as happy with todays spraying of tank & bits. Booth is out of bounds for a couple hours while it all dries.

That paint scheme is pretty much what you said 12 months ago, you were going to do, iirc?

I wonder how Chuey is? He may still be stuck on the wall.

Yeah, thats wright ME... was always going be a candy red /smoke scheme.

Well... I have to say that I am closer to being very disappointed, than being less than impressed with todays results spraying the tank, guards & bits.
Actually, im rather pissed off with myself this evening :x

On inspection I can clearly see where I stuffed up... and badly... on every piece :oops:
Coats to thick + not enough flash off time = badly bubbled surface's :shock:
Ill regroup and think it threw tomorrow :cry:

Pretty much most of the next 10 days will be consumed with family & friends arriving & helping with preps for a little party on the 11th.
Plenty of warm hospitality, hot food & camping space if any one is passing through Tweed :lol:

Oh, then plenty of extra hands to help you wet sand those too thick areas. Good enough. :)

Hi Steve,

Life has been caught in a shaky deep spin cycle this past year & no progress on Betsy has been made at all :?
Im sort of on top of things again, hopefully I can get back into it in the new year.

Thanks for asking mate.

Cheers
Joe

Good to hear.
We can wait. I'm sure looking forward to the continuation though.
