A speeder kit
Today I started to build a speeder kit, including two trailers for it. The locals here call these "pop cars" because of the sound they make going past on the DSNNRR. I was not going to build these until I had the structures built (last blip)- or painted. Well - a delay in painting.
I knew better (how many times do you have to make the same mistake) but I used a gray primer. Nice stuff, but the buildings are painted a buff color. Very hard to cover gray. I should have priced with flat white but duh - forgot. I ran out and bought two cans of flat white primer. Shook up one of the cans, and commenced to respray the wood parts. About half way through I realized I was using the "unshaken" can and not the "shaken" can of paint. Lousy prime coat. So I am letting that dry and will reshoot the prime tomorrow with a shaken not stirred, can.
All of this malarky gave me an afternoon free so I started building the speeder and trailer kits. Actually neat little Sn3 kits. Made by Wiseman Models (http://wisemanmodelservices.com).. He makes all kinds of really neat details for model railroading - in N, HO, S, and O. Good stuff.
Once I finish making the speeder and trailers, I will prime them along with the wood stuff.
