Midschoolfool:
Full set. And, a sign of age. I knew it was the 25th anniversary Goose. When I counted back... 1974. The year I was born. I feel old  :LolLolLolLol:

Midschoolfool:
Work work work.

Midschoolfool:
This took me 5 hours. I was in the shade, but am sun burned pretty bad for some reason.



I was chasing perfection. I got it, though.





Mercifully it is alu, so I did not have to spend another two hours putting the primer on yesterday. It is now too hot (28 here) so I am having a day off. Shoulder is fugged any way.

Midschoolfool:
Primer and filler primer.







And ordered the paints.



OUCHO  :LolLolLolLol:

Midschoolfool:








And then....









Until finally......









I also made a discovery.

See, a few years ago I bought a very expensive printer that uses thermal ink. It was expensive because it can print A3. Huge ass sheets. The problem? was the media. Ie, the paper. It was terrible. Thin, looked good until you put the sticker down and then it got washed out by the colour behind it. That meant I used to have to print them, line the back with white vinyl and then laminate. Meaning they were very thick, and refused to stay stuck down. Soul destroying.

I then found out after wondering for years if I could print on decent vinyl if they made such a thing. Turns out they do.



IDK how long that has been available but it ain't long.
