Thanks! The paint is probably the most difficult part, just because it's acrylic craft paint, lol. I'm getting the hang of using it though, and it held up to masking over it without pulling anything off, so I guess it can be fairly durable. I still wouldn't trust it to be as durable as actual model paint, but it gets the job done when you can't find the right colors.
Thanks Lyle! Ain't that the truth. It's not the first time I've been asked to do commission work. I've been asked several times, and most people take no for an answer. Not this guy, lol. I just hope I haven't opened up a can of worms, and he bugs me for more. I'll just have to quote him before hand, and if wants to pay a grand for a D-Day version of Mini Whiskey 7 then I'll do it. I just never paid attention to how many hours I spent building stuff, so I had no idea how much to quote him. Now that I've timed a few of my builds I have an idea how long it will take. This one a little over 40hrs, B-25 I did was 50hrs, D-Day Mini W7 was 80hrs.
