A bit of a slump buster.

I couldn't physically spend much time at the bench, so I opted for this little buggy to help pass the time.

It was fun.

Painted with nail polish, high-heat aluminum paint and 2K clear, I like how it turned out.

Comments always welcome.

Nicely done. Looks like a fun build, The nail polish paint turned out great. What did you use as a thinner?

Good ol' lacquer thinner. 

The orange was REALLY low-hiding, so I put down some white primer, made sure I ddn't sand through it anywhere, and then put down around 8 light coats of colour as evenly as I could. 

Waited a couple hours till I was sure everything was gassed-out, tacked it off and then put on a double coat of over-thinned 2K clear.
