Hi everyone! TK 12658 requesting access. Profile URL: https://501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=37325

I'll be there! I met a bunch of friends from Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan too. I'll also be with some ECG friends from NY

Update : Paint Ok, I can't believe I've burned a week and a half (evenings) just testing paint. Enough. I have a game plan....if anyone follows this for their build, this is what I'm doing.... (I'll update this image if/as things evolve) Counter, Power Cylinders = 1, 2 Handle Grip = 1, 4, 5 Handle (non-grip) = 1, 2, 9 Stock, End Cap, Trigger Guard = 1, 3, 2 Scope = 1, 2 with weathering of 6, 7 Receiver Tube = 1, 2 Bolt Area = 1, 9 with weathering of 8, 7 The T-Tracks = 1, 2 but may follow with something more matte. Everything here seems to play well together. The base layers are all lacquer and the Testors/Humbrols are enamel so any layering should be fine. I opted against the Testors Matte Black spray I was testing because it was REALLY matte. I changed my mind and liked the way the Tamiya Matte Black still had a bit of shine to to. I think it makes things look a little more like metal. How much more? I'll post a couple of "teaser" pics in a sec.... Mark
