So far, so good!

If I could repeat one word four times in relation to your modeling, it would be:

Clean
Clean
Clean

Good work as usual James!

some body work, and got it in primer today, it still needs a bit of sanding here and there.

Nice work James the paint looks great. What is your method of masking multi tone paint jobs. I ask because i have only tryed one and messed it up.

I use regular maskin tape, and once I put it on I spray a light coat of clear over it to seal the edge.

The thing that strikes me is the amount of prep-work like sanding you do. That is the base and building block for such a wonderful finish.

Great job.
