You are doing well with limited colors available.

I got the dark green on last night. I just used rattle-can colors I could find at the hardware store. They're not exactly right, but they're pretty close. I wish I could have found a dark green that was a little more brown, but oh well.







Black should go on tonight!

It finally warmed up enough to get more painting done. The pinewood derby race is Saturday, March 1st, so I've got to get this done before then! On Saturday I painted the light green, today will be dark green, black tomorrow, windows on Wednesday, then a couple of days for details.

It's good to know I'm not alone! Unfortunately, we've got high temperatures in the single digits all week, so I probably won't be able to get outside and cut new ones for a while.

I do stuff like that al the time.

I'm going to have to remake the nacelles. I carved them too small in the front by mistake. I carved them down to the size of the inner circle for the engine opening, not the outside of the cowling. Oops!

Looking great. Paint looks very smooth!

It was (sort of) warm enough outside yesterday to get a base layer of tan paint on here. I'm painting it like a Vietnam gunship. I'm just using "rattle can" paints from Menards (large chain hardware store).

Wonderful.

That looks great! Well done!
