Well, i've been taking plenty of pictures, but it looks like, if all goes well, I might actually have this model painted and complete by tonight, if i work quickly (unfortunately, i have stuff to do today that might hold me up). I did rectify the shell warping issued by bolting it down on the frame in a particular way that keeps it lined up. I hope this works like braces.
Today, i might have to sand down one layer of silver paint, as the casting was made from an already painted model, and the finish wasn't very good (of course, i bet some dull-cote would removed the weird shine). I could tell this was the case, as all the cannon parts painted up nice and smooth!
Once painted, its just going to be a matter of small details and decals. All the MAJOR work is done, so even if i don't finish in time for the contest, this model should be rolling on time for some of my upcoming show dates.
