Not much on the blog front lately. I've mainly been getting all the blue paint as finished as I can before the cold weather finally set in a couple weeks ago. All but about 3-4 pieces will need some clear coat touchup next spring when the weather abides again.
Had some success with masking the Booster Covers with Elmer's Glue. The bottom four masked areas on each didn't turn out to well though. Masking Tape on the coin slots didn't fair very good as well. I posted a thread about masking tips on the forums, and the best advice I think I gathered from responses is that masking should be removed fairly quickly - within 2 hours. That way the paint is still pliable enough not to chip. Looks like these 3 parts will be stripped and attempted again this Spring with the remaining blue pieces I've yet to receive.
Not sure yet, but I'd like to attempt the Dome Lighting Kit sometime in the next couple months while its too dang cold to do much else.
I've ordered a few more parts, there's only a handfull left to go and most are electronics. The HP servo mounts came in yesterday. These allow a servo hookup to the HPs to add movement. Some assembly required.
