Here is my high tech spray booth:

You can't see it but there is a garbage can under there. Also note the good use for old sectionals.

Great way to mask the surface for painting! I always love the innovative minds of homebuilders!!

I use my old sectionals to wrap my wife's Christmas presents!!

Came out good. Hopefully that is the last masking I will need to do.

What type of paint are you using Bryan? Looks pretty good with your special effect photography

The good thing about being me is I am easily amused.

Here is my tank and one of my tires. Plus some other stuff.

I really should sleep more. On the bright side I am done with F9 on the turtledeck.

Back from visiting my folks in TN. Plus, Adam and I were able to visit Ryan and Waiex 197 which was cool.

I am done polishing one turtledeck skin with C. Can you tell which one?

There was spectacular lightning out this evening. I didn't get zapped in the dash from the car to the hangar.

Done polishing for now. Riveting next. Should be big fun.

The wood in the background is Matthew's loft bed. We are almost done polishing (sanding) that too. Then off to stain. Should also be big fun.

Here is the turtledeck clecoed back on. You can see Adam riveting drive horns on the ruddervators in the reflection.

Freshly riveted drive horns:

Tomorrow if we get a chance we will pull rivets on the turtledeck.
