Glad to see you enjoying the tasteful new extras- with a thoughtful Waylon looking on, Painless. :thumbup: My brother, who lives on Cape Cod, has two energetic Italian Greyhounds. Waylon's face reminds me of them!
Apart from all the usual things I enjoy seeing in your builds; the bespoke bits, and the attention to detail- I also make a note of any bits of equipment I might make use of myself. That Tamiya rattle can, for example, has a very intriguing clamp-on spray trigger/ spray gun attached to it. I imagine it makes spraying from a rattle can much more accurate and comfortable. I'd certainly like one of those!:thumbup:

Roy, Good Afternoon!
Thank you for looking in, my friend. Waylon is very quiet these days but hopefully he will get his voice back soon. I believe ( and could be wrong ) since it has been a while...I'm thinking Home Depot for the Rattlecan Trigger.
Here is a link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum- ... /100670383 It is a very useful tool and available almost everywhere!
regards,
Painless

Picking up the work on the Lower. I did some rudimentary taping off and primered the lower tonight in that rottbraun color. Turned out better than I expected. Kind of authentic and a nice solid primer undercoat for the paint. More rain drops so standing in the front hall and holding the lower on a base and rotating it for coverage. This is where that rattle can control handle comes in really handy, Roy. ;o)

After a weekend of rain, the sun came out and I was able to go and paint out on the deck ( briefly ). A couple more massive storms rolled down off the Rockies next door and ran me back inside. Still the Lower is 99% in paint with some brush detailing remaining. It is good to be moving forward again on the Build. The Tamiya paint is best left to cure overnight.
