Dave! This was a real pain in the a$$  .Needless to say the blades are no longer workable.   Anthony! Thank you .Way to many parts and I sure could have used an optivisor on this. |

Ugh!  You maybe could have kept the blades workable….at a dear cost to your sanity. Ya did this WITHOUT an Optivisor?!?!?  Hats off to you good man. I would have needed the reading glasses and the Optivisor!   Dave |

Dave! I wear 2.75 reading glasses and still couldn't see the indentations for assembling some the parts.  It will be a cold day in Haiti before I attempt something like this again. |

The plow looks crazy good Leon!! Shame that the bad weather that usually bolsters the building time is actually holding you up!! Looking forward to seeing the primer fly...as always!! Hope things warm up for you soon!! |

Todd thank you ! I had completely forgotten we had a spray booth at work .So the primer will fly and will have pics up when I get home. |

Well guys all good plans must fail !! Stopped over at work a few hours ago and found out the heating system went down on the second shift last night and it is cold as hail in the building.Wasn't going to a chance spraying primer.Just have to wait for another day. |

I remember seeing the artwork for this thing and thinking: "I bet there's a lot of parts in there". Looks like I was right. Well done, Leon, you've done something I don't think I have the attention span to complete.

Wow Leon, you've been busy! Me too, just finished filling some 150 mixing steel balls in my Vallejo paint bottles. Still got a couple left to go, hopefully it will pay off in the future... |
