Your wrist must be aching like hell! How many hours did it take to finish this so far? What airbrush did you use?

Hi Thomas!
I did it in four sessions of about fourty minutes each to avoid cramps. I'm using my good ol' Gabbert Triplex, in this case with a 0.25 mm needle. It combines all you can expect from a German tool - simple construction, great handling and easy maintenance.
Lovin' it!

Thank you, Jim. Both for your heads up and offering me this new way!JimD wrote:Man that is absolutely beautiful. Resplendent. Well worth the effort.
Yeah, since they're producing in Spartanburg SC, the quality decreases rapidly...Coincidentally the exact opposite experience of what I had with my BMW...
Earnestly, since German car producers try to compete with low cost countrys, they've thrown some principles over board. From the big players I think Audi's the one that held its high standards. To ridiculous prices, though.
