Dude......you need to spray 8 more ounces of clear on it. It's just to light.  VD~

Very nice work Derek. Now, let Dave, Billy and me go over it in the motel at the Nats this year.  We WILL fix you up once again! VD~ VD~

Well, as long as you "fix" like you did the Dreadnought all those years ago...For some reason I don't think that is the "fix" you had in mind.  ;)

Thanks Paul!

Really awesome job Derek.  You are a true artist!  I will be embarrassed to place my model in the 180 building with yours in Muncie!
