Primer done today. Unfortunately I still use the spray cans for this. Started to snow just as I finished painting. I already see a few blemishes. Ahh well better than having to go to work.

Gotta pick up a few new and different colors before the base coat and camouflage. That'll be Friday. Perfect time to sand the snowflakes and let it cure.

Great work on this Stug Mr Chef, the mods you're making and the background research you've done so far make this one stand out from the regular run-of-the-mill examples.
