Nice progress Leon!
Wet pallet is the way to go. Here we've got high temps and low humdidity, if I didn't use one the paint dries quicker than I can paint. I use a sealable lunch box with a bit of kitchen paper soaked in destilled water and a bit of baking paper on top for the actual pallet. When I don't forget to seal the box between sessions the paint stays useable for days.

Afternoon fellas! Finally got the hull interior painted and ready for some detail painting.Bulk head detail painting is done.Just a few more parts to prime and paint as soon as it cools down a bit.I couldn't resist the urge to dry fit everything and this bad boy looks sweet.Hope to get pics posted early next week. Not having the computer is driving me crazy. LOL
