BK9300 Posted July 31 Author Posted July 31 About that paint booth issue; almost immediately after posting about it, and realizing that I should have had the painting all done by now, I got worried about the masking tape I still had on the inside of the hood. Don't know what issues leaving the tape on longer for would have created, if any, but I didn't want to chance it. I carefully removed the tape and it all came away cleanly, much to my relief. Will need to re-mask for final top coat, though, but am happy that all is good on the underside for now, save a few spots along the edges, where some yellow did manage to creep in. When all is finished on top, might still do those slight overspray areas along the inside edges of the hood and bracing, too. Very happy with how this is looking! 5

BK9300 Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 Paint booth back working, but had Brother, Niece and Nephew here for a few days. Kind of a bonus in that my Nephew is a professional photographer. I told him I was going to buy one of the Nikon cameras that has an option to do a set of focus stacked pics and assemble them all into one pic, completely in focus, front to back of the model. He told me his camera did that, too, so he did a couple test shots to show me what it could turn out like. Looking even more forward to getting my camera now! Regular shot with no focus stacking - front in focus but not much else For each of the next two pics, the camera took 40 pics to make one, all in-focus pic - Back soon with more, actual progress! 5

Ron G I bought a bunch of drive tires from Jamie a couple years ago - best I’ve ever used - and thankfully still have some left for another build. 1
