Dr. Cranky Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's another work of art. A masterpiece of detail. Can't wait to see the paint, John. You are almost there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Another masterpiece John! Just stunning detail work. I don't know if you mentioned it, but what do you use for primer and are you polishing it before laying paint? It's got a sheen to it and looks to be pretty darn smooth!

W-409 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Piece of art... Already, even if it's still WIP. Everything looks so nice and clean, and realistic of course. As Ryan mentioned above, the primer looks very smooth, looks like good basis for paint coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife doesn't model at all and I kept smacking her arm and telling her to look. lol. The amount of detail just totally blows my mind. You are a master! Great build!!!

John you have to be the best back yard builder I know ... i wasnt sure if you were using a booth or not since I saw no dust in that paint. Its flawless, but spraying inside the shed would also help. I typically spray on the side of my house right outside the garage in m back yard. Keep up the great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
