After a grueling session of oh, 30 min or so, and a bit of PPP, it is ready for color.

"Ike" would fit in our living room, and we could still walk around her. :wink:
And our house isn't that big either. :grin:

This one has been sitting for a couple of reasons. One to make sure the paint (Tamiya X-7 Red) has dried as dry as it will dry. And, secondly, working on getting the cohones cinched up to do the masks. They are cut, just need appllication.

The red looks good! If it’s been drying for more than a day or two, I’ll wager that the paint is now fully dried & cured and ready for the next step. :wink:
