Got to the end of painting this last night and cleared her this morning... is looking good..

Below was the area that needed addressing the most. Not a lot of this survived once loose paint was taken off, but it looks the goods now..



This area was a touch tricky.. spent over 4 hrs restoring this by laying down the base orange and then applying the yellow dots one by one with a magnifying lense and a very fine brush... it worked though!



Nearly all text was replaced using the stencil method. first time ive done it like this and although great care has to be taken, the results speak for themselves




Couple of relective pics to show the nice finish..






And now the bad... well you didnt expect everything to go 100% did you?? LOL.

Didnt notice this little bugger as he had camflaged himself... must have been right after the first fine layer went down and before the top 2 coats...... not quite sure what to do here.. guess he is staying!



BLOODY BULL ANTS!!!!!
