Timmy! Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Great job so far. I'd really love to tackle this conversion myself - the problem is that there are no good drawings around to start from. Looking forward to seeing more! Well there are good drawings around...they're just not available...yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You finish up that awesome S-3 of yours and I'll get my drawings cleaned up and figure out how I want to publish them. Cheers, Timmy!

Anthony in NZ Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 OH WOW!!! That sir is a thing of beauty to behold so far. Where did you get the thin vinyl from? Looks perfect for the job, and how did you adhere it to the surface? Thanks for the brilliant update Cheers Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Oracal you find a local supplier, it's not rare stuff. HTH. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hey everbody! Gots some paint on! The red plastic proved to be an issue and took a couple of attempts and a mountain of patience to get a half way decent result. ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO PAINT WHITE! As usual more details and complete write up HERE… Masking was accomplished with traditional methods and my Silhouette cutter, used to make vinyl and paper masking tape masks. I didn’t get too much photographic coverage of these steps but you should get the idea of what markings were painted. My write up describes the process better than photos in this case. Anyway here you go…. Thanks for checking in. Off to do some decaling! Timmy! Out2gtcha, Anthony in NZ, MikeC and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
