Exceptional work Carlos! It feels great when a plan comes together doesn't it? This does look far better now. Congrats on getting the free time you had. I also got some free time and even though I didn't want to airbrush, I fired up the compressor and did it anyway. Pics forthcoming.

Meanwhile, looking forward to seeing more here.

I'm really liking the way this is turning out Carlos. I hear you on blocks of time as well. Good grief!! It seems like lately I barely even have time to eat! I do manage some bench time just to keep my sanity. Our son is in football and agriculture so our leisure time is severely affected. It's a good thing though because it's a bad thing for teens to have idle time. :whistle:

Thanks Mark. I hear ya about not wanting to set up the airbrush, do a session, then clean up... it always takes for longer than initially estimated.... I am glad that you got some time to do that yourself.

Joe, it seems like for the past month or two, every time I think that I will have those magical free hours to do stuff like this, something comes up. I almost lost this last one too. Yeah I have a honey do list for the house, but now my oldest just bought herself a new place and she needed some dad assistance with fixing something.... there went two plus hours....
