TRM - Thanks T for the nice comments. Sometimes the other half is not too bad at all
Andy - The silly putty does make it easy as long as I quit sticking it to the instruction sheet and stretching the pictures, it also helps with the anxiety.
SprueOne - Little embarassed to say do not know much about this paint scheme on the real ones. Have only seen this scheme three times, one black and white photo and one color drawing in two different books, last place was on a documentry.I know not to completly trust documentries but it was an older one and in black and white, the pattern could definatly be seen. After seeing three different sources thought would give it a try. Would like to know more about it if any one knows. Used the same colors that was in the book with the color drawing.
Nate - Thank you much for the words. One other thing did not mention in the explanation of how: The color used to spray threw the netting was thick. Normally thin my paint to milk consistencybut found this not to work. It would just go under the net. So the paint was almost straight from the bottle, did put a little thinner in but not much. When painting would often have to turn the pressure up and blow some paint threw then turn it back down and go back to painting. Thought you or someone might want to know in case you ever try it out.
TD4438 - Thanks for those great comments. Been wanting to try this for about a year or so but I too wasn't sure if it would work. Finally decided would try it and find out.
Marc - Thats just what I needed, should be a great relationship....at least until the next piece of armor comes along
The update - Finished painting the stripes. The rear stripe had messed up, paint to thin and it turned into a big brown blob. Repainted in white and had to paint it again, did not come out perfect but it will do.
Stayed up late making the correction last night and was at work late today so no work on the BT today. Should be on the downhill side of things now.
More to come soon, thanks to all for looking.
