How is it possible for anyone to paint such perfectly straight and uniform stripes and checkers?? :o  "Incredible" isn't a good enough word to describe this!

Thanks for the assist George, awesome pic of a beast of a craft.

Not only is my painting far from perfect, but it was actually quite easy to do. With the black being added to the white, and being only one coat, it was easy to use an exacto blade to clean up the edges if i painted out of 'the lines'.  It was just very time consuming.  Not something I'll do again and only did because a friend challenged me to do so.

Thanks again for your compliments.

So, are you still friends? I can see a couple of scenarios as to how that might not have ended well. (LOL)

Really, really wonderful. Quite a lesson in the Zen of Model Building, if you ask me.

Bravo from NYC,
Michael
