I would offer, but I have too many things on the go
and I'm hoping to squeeze in a DGA model or two next week!

Hey, no worries. I'll probably have a new cartridge after pay day.

Another big delay. ooops. The wife's computer had a bit of a technical difficulty for a few weeks. It decided not to talk to the external hardrive that all of my repaint files are housed in. We finally got that going, and then decided to completely rearrange the layout of our office. Needless to say the helo hasn't received my full attention. But, have no fear. Christmas break is in 3 weeks. I have 2 full weeks off, and a week of that includes max computer time. Yippee. Maybe it'll be done for the new year.

Well, Christmas break is upon us, and I think I managed to get the repaint figured out. I'm about half way through what I hope is the final test build of the repaint. I played with the design for a couple of hours yesterday and I think I got it right. I should know by the end of the week if it worked. If not, then I'll have to do some tweaking next week when we get back in town. If the design works, there will be some pictures here this weekend.

The repaint is officially done! I did the test build of the adjustments last week and they worked. I will post pictures tomorrow probably. I have just a few touch ups to the sheets, but then I will send them off to Chris (FINALLY). =D

super! glad it all worked out!

It should be nice I hope. I'm just putting the working copy pieces onto the final parts page. I'm following Nathaniel's lead, so it's easy. I am struggling with building the skids for the picture. I'll try something with that tonight. As soon as I get the final photo, I'll send the whole thing off to you Chris.

The end is looming. I didn't get to build tonight as I was prepping for another 7 inches of snow for tomorrow. I now have all of the parts sheets DONE! I even have the cover page ready to go. It's just waiting for the picture of the bird. I'm pretty excited about this.

You've certainly wrestled with this long enough. Glad it's finally coming to an end. Looking forward to its release! And some pics?
