This is a very nifty looking tractor! Weathering should bring it over the top!

I'm calling this one done for now before it drives me crazy. Green paint kept chipping on it while I worked on it today. I haven't sprayed enamels in my hobby room in 18 years because of Ian. Today I had to bite the bullet and spray some Mr. Hobby matt clear from a rattle can. Fortunately I have a very good filter system on the paint booth and Renee never smelled anything. I'll let the paint cure for a week and then get the decals on it and do some weathering.  I quoted ya to get the pic on this page! Even with the difficulty it looks great Kenny! |

Gator, you'll want a gloss surface for the decals otherwise the carrier film will stand out. A flat surface is actually bumpy and traps air beneath the decal, a gloss coat is smooth and dimensionally flat.

Thought that was probably the case, but mentioned it anyway. There's always the possibility that someone less experienced that us happens onto the site who isn't aware of such tricks. Me, I've been doing this rodeo circuit for over 55 years! |
