James2 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 This one has been fighting me the whole way. And just when I was making good progress, the painting of the body took a turn for the worse. Between a mistake on my part and a huge unexpected spittle from the airbrush I will be redoing the paint as well. It may not be anytime soon as I feel I should just box it up and let the emotional mishap drain out before rushing into another disaster. While it is disappointing I will press on. But not today, I'm played out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Man this one is fighting you! Probably a decent idea stepping away from it, I usually do the opposite and cause the situation to spiral out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yea, I've got to much time in it to ruin things now. I'm gonna like you say and step away for a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I, too, would like to see some progress on this one. I have a couple of 53 Customs (one is a more modern custom) that are on the bench. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Sadly I gave up on this one, but I gave it to a friend who is working on it and I'll see if I can get some pix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 53 is one of my favorites and you were headed in the right direction. I'm serious. If he wants to trade it, I'm in! Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 So I have inquired and the response is favorable! My buddy is now searching the archives for the Vic and when he finds I will be in business. This should be interesting because i have never gotten back a model that I let go before. If you have let me know what happen? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
