Thanks Bill, maybe I'll actually finish it this time around. The paint is actually Tamiya Italian Red. By the way, I saw your '59 Chevy on the cover of a magazine. It looks fantastic, congratulations! David G.

Finally, it looks like I got some good paint laid down. After two more coats of paint and some color sanding, these are the results. Our little flaw even smoothed out nicely. With a nice even color. I think I can let this cure and then do a final polish. As always, thanks for taking the time to look, and feel free to comment. David G.

I finally got some more bench time, so here's another update. Now that the body fit issues are mostly sorted, it's time to move on to paint... for the third and hopefully, final time. It seems that a little color sanding will be needed. This dark spot is caused by the body filler I used to repair the sink mark that lies directly beneath it. It appears that I should have made better use of the primer. Additionally, the body filler didn't fill as well as I would have liked. Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's back to the bench I go with a little skim-coat and sanding. That's all for now As always, please feel free to comment and thanks for taking the time to look. David G.

Ha Ha, Wow, "Some assembly required." This is really cool G. David G.

Fabulous! Could pass for 1:1. David G

Most impressive and very well done! David G.

Looks great from any angle! David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

Good progress. Looks great, but I think that the mud on the wheels is too glossy. A little dull-coat would knock down some of the sheen. David G.

Well done, looks great! David G.

Fishing line, I don't think I'd have come up with that one. Looks great! David G.

Thanks for the update. It must be great to finally have 'er home. David G.

The wood of the mast looks nice and woody Kenneth. David G.

Nice rust work- very convincing. David G.

I've always wanted to build one of these- still do. Mind if I watch? Though I don't know much about ship models, what I've seen so far looks good. Impressive weathering effects. David G.

Bill, I wish you a successful operation and a rapid recovery. David G.

Thank you Cary. David G.
