There was a lot of paint on it. A lot. My Iwata HP CS Eclipse is dead. I think it needs a new trigger innards, my Badger 105 just isn’t working right, either. Paint comes out like a fire hose. If I put the fine needle in it, I get tip clog. I just ordered a new 105 while it was on sale, I’ll take 12% off.

I hope the new a/b fives some things. We’ll see.

You’ll be alright. New is good. Did you drill out holes for the rigging?

Lyle I'm so sorry to hear the news that red on white was so sharp looking. Next attempt will be even better just don't rush it.

Thanks, Clint. It was about as good as I could have hoped for. But I know how I did it...so, it should be reproduceable. I hope the new a/b gets here sooner than later.

Lyle, that was magnificent! I look forward to the pics of the reproduction! That was cleaner and sharper than anything I've ever done!

Thanks, Mark! Yeah, I was quite pleased at how sharp it turned out. Smooth paint, smooth cuts with the cutter, burnished several times, edges sealed with Future.

I was thinking you could also use stretched sprue for the rigging!
