That is an unenviable task, to be sure. But it's so damn sexay...

Personally, I'd just pick up a pre-painted die-cast, if I were so inclined. But that's just because I'm lazy and have no skills. Bad eyesight and less than steady hands don't help either. :ddpan:

Nice model BTW. Your work?

:lol: Not in a million years ... which is probably how long it would take me. :levi:
