and there off.....
well started by glueing the 2 halfs together, will do it section by section as i think to try to glue both halfs together in 1 go will be messy, also will let the glue dry for at lest 12 hours before proceeding. and will in the meantime look at the wem instructions and try get my brain around them

ok now i know there is a recession on... been to the model shop to get 2 tins of paint i need and guess what i came away with 2 tins of paint and nothing else ohhh my life never done that before.
any way back on to subject, got the paint i needed, loaded up the airbrush and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, now spry painting over a larger area was harder than i thought trying to get a even coat on, sorry for the bad pic will get a better one in true light, needs a little more touching up but is not as bad as the photo makes out as thats reflection of the lights.
