It’s been quite a bit since my last update! I finished painting almost all of the parts, and the masking tape worked beautifully. Tamiya masking tape is well worth the extra money. I messed up on one of the parts, so I think I’ll have to strip it and start over. The problem is that I ran out of paint. I’ll have to buy more. Do you think I should…[Read more]

Never mind. I have decided to use the broken parts. One of the upsides to this is that it will help speed up the painting process, since days with nice weather are scarce these days. I hope everything works out in the end. I am NOT giving up.
