Any progress on this one Tom?

Nope.

Some progress pics from back when I shelved it.

The rims I shot a coat of flat clear. Ive done it before and liked how it really pulls the shine giving it a look of dead flat.

Oh yeah... that's more like it

Yes! That confused me too! Glad you explained what was what.

Ok... time to paint red striping along the sides. Decals are a pain to line up plus its all wrong. If you go look at the box cover, the red along and around the pillars is correct.

The decals for that is shown here for the right side of Grumpy's Toy.



I attempted to do the left side. Its impossible to lay it as one piece. I managed to cut in small sections. This is the end result...



I'm not liking it at all. Masking for it shouldn't be too hard to do. I will tape the door pillars and paint the red by hand.

Not 100% accurate but pretty damn close. I'm happy with the results.






Got a couple of spray bleeds and a spot or two of red scratched from removing the masking tape.

Very nice!
