Medicman: LOL! It's gonna be black Medic. Thanks for lookin' in potna.
Paul: Thanks for the encouraging comments.
I painted almost all of the remaining body parts yesterday. Still gotta paint the topside of the hood and the tail gate but I had to do a lot of clean up on both parts.
Got the gloss coat on. Here in the photos this is about 6 hours after application so this is already nice n' dry to touch. It'll be another 3-4 days till I bring all of this out of the drying booth. I'm really stoked about how this finish is going to look on the completed build.
The letters in the middle of the light reflection on the body is the script on the bulb:
"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
Man, I am speechless! I couldn't for the life of me ever get a finish like that!
