What a bitch Rob I only use AlClad and that's it!I taped the you know what out of the Hustler and not one issue that really sucks

Not exactly my favorite thing to do but needed to be done on my Son's truck since we are using it while he is overseas again in Japan.I told him I would keep up the maintenance on the truck for the use.The first pic is before I started with the polishing pads and grits of liquid polish.I bought the materials from Harbor Freight a Bauer orbital polisher and Grant foam pads Blue(med cut),Yellow(low cut/high finish) and Black(high cut/high finish) I did not make it to black today.The Grant pads are Nice and getting good reviews for durability and use on YT I highly recommend for us low grade DIY'ers I learned quick.The jod took me two hours from start to finish topping off with Mothers carnauba Wax.Pics1st)before 2nd)middle and 3rd)finished

I keep plugging along sometime one step forward two back?I am going to give myself a C= or B on this one the problem being I used rattle can for the black (it's a big canvas).The more I add color wise the better it starts to look so the decals shall help also.I looked at many videos these planes were polished. I have a coworker who was around these planes mentioned many models flat AL his head tilted eyes moved"No,they were shinny"

That's still a nice looking car Rob and those decals are working well it seems.

Had a good day at the range 250 rds in two weeks of .308 the gun I think iis finally dialed in and even after almost 5K rounds is working well.I am having to re-teach myself the site picture but it's coming back.The four rds in the middle was 100yds with open sights their was fifth a flyer somewhere.I have many many more rounds for practice lets about 10K I reload.

Always like your work Mike!

Santa Maria 2025 TigerCat sounds wicked and some very Nice landings made.

Cool Kris was watching a video last night of an air show with a TigerCat in it and that plane sounds wickly bad.

Progress has been slow but steady lots of sanding old molds/technology.I painted the engines primer,black,polished silver,silver119(panels) pale burnt metal,paneled line with rubber,pale metal(very thin) then burnt iron.The body of the plane has only been primed up top ATTM but is silky smooth after using a worn out 800grit scotch brite.

Looking good thus far they are rebuilding a KV1 on the Aussie Armor show it looks to be a good size tank.

She's looking good John and we all feel the same to some degree or other.Me I just don't feel like posting that much of late I am building but just no build logs you know.

You got it go'in Sir

Chris how do you obtain those shades of blue red green all in one pen?Do you stain sheets of wood and glue like laminate? I see it now acrylic but do you still turn in any way then?

I hit the range for the first time in a year I think brought out M1a,Fr-8,VZ-24,Inland carbine and that little S&W 38 snub M1a: Hit black(center) on a 3" circle 100yds open sites first five rounds group 3." overall.I shot some more not bad but those 3" circles look a mile away now @100yds got a bar site on the receiver need to work it some got it off a WWII Winchester parade rifle. VZ-24: I started @100 yd was a no go first time shooting it ever brought it up to 50yds was 4" to the Left of center nice group.I drifted the front site L to move right pegged the black 2 rounds. FR-8: still need more time on that one. Carbine: The Inland and the M1a are my favorites it tore up that target so bad it's unbelievable just point and shoot luv that gun.Mag has been loaded over a year not one hiccup. S&W : It function a little recoil tuff to use got home oiled it runs like a top better ammo next time. It felt good to get away from the town even if only the next county N and meet with the Range Officers whom I have not seen in over a year,I figured my skills needed some polishing with that word being mentioned ...insur........

Fantastic results Jeroen and if you go campaigning with it it will be a show stopper!!
