Fantastic work!

It appears that you masked and sprayed the Non-Skid on the lower hull. Looks great!

I did indeed mask and spray.. did the masking on new years eve and sprayed new years day

I am still watching, Lt. McEvoy! I have been impressed by the non-skid work. I suppose you will paint over it all, even if it is rather good looking.

Zowie! I'd bet you can pronounce Wauwatosa and even Mukwanago! You haven't been to Hiawatha Hobbies in Waukesha? Let me know by PM when you are next coming.

You will enjoy this: we call "Happy Hobby" (the one on 76th and Good Hope Road) "Sloppy Hobby." One fellow even called another modeler from the store on his cell phone, "Hey Don, I'm at Sloppy Hobby..." Geez, I nearly strangled him.

Then there is the one on Burleigh, run by a difficult person. As a 17-year-old, I set up a Happy Hobby for the parents of the current generation who run the two remaining shops. I know from experience why the second generation is, well, having a hard time.
