Wow, the finish on that is GORGEOUS - it looks silky smooth! If I'd built that I'd be applying my second tub of filler to level it out right now. Looks ready for paint, basically!

Well, if I'd made something like this from scratch I'dve used a whole tub of Bondo to try and get it level already  It's a testament to your scratchbuilding skills that you haven't needed to. Great work! |

I think you have this very close, it looks good and I can appreciate the extreme minimum use of bondo , that's the way it should be ; cleanly scratch built |

Thanks ZZZLAD!!!!!....I highly appreciate.it's kinda tuff competing with a computer........lol In building this thing there were a few angles I've opted not to spend a whole lot of time on.....I would spend a life time trying to make it exact....Heck!! I'm right behind HobbyBobby in not finishing builds as it is.......lolol

I'm right behind HobbyBobby in not finishing builds as it is.......lolol I hear ya, but you know what ? the logical way to go about it,is the steady pace your at;whatever time it takes to complete;so be it. It would be a real shame to hurry it at this point; just to have it done ,if you take a few steps back here and there to get it as accurate as you can; the final product will be well worth it.Don't rush it; enjoy the process. |

Yeah! I always pace myself, not race myself.... But I do know this about myself is that I have a window of interest... most of the time if I'm not careful I'll never return to it.... Lol

Lol Yep I used to be guilty of that too, I would be hell bent to be on a project & for some reason 3/4 ways through , get distracted & the interest fizzled out. Now, I try to focus on one thing at a time , if boredom, or frustration appears; I walk away & tackle it the next day or so. |
