Afraid so. BS in Environmental Science back in 2012. Started in 1978. I don't recommend the 30 year plan. However, going back to college in my 50s with a bunch of freshmen was the most fun I ever had. Especially when they mistook me for the professor!

Old school rules or something like that 😊
The only qualifications I have are military ones and most ain't that helpful in the civilian world and the ones that are don't work with someone who's a wreak  but you really don't know until it's to late .
With the damage my brain took from one very bad job or mission as you'd call it school wouldn't work either ..so that makes me boned there too.
Thankfully there's model to drive me nuts   

Was going to work on this today but it's stinking hot here right now and it's sucked my energy levels to bloody near zero..yep I've got fans on ..every one I have which is seven   

Righto then lads ,,,heres where she stands at the mo ...and heres some pics to show ya 

You'll remember where i got to when everything went into the crapper bigtime ..so ill show you how it looked up to the stripping stage .

That stage is when everything went poop....the semi gloss paint sprayed very nicely and covered even better but the moment it started to remove the masking ,,bollocks 

This is what she looked like in the oven cleaner .

Now stage 2 part 3 
I didnt bother taking any pics of the first part of masking as its the same as the first pics ..but it did take some of the second part of this masking marathon .

Im waiting for the paint to dry before i can mask it again .,.just a couple of things to check before i proceed.

Is that a wrap around scheme?

My fingers are crossed for you mate.

Fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes & ears ALL crossed!    

I presume you have shares in Tamiya, yes? 

Thanks lads 😁😁😁

Kit that's would be a yup 
Actually with all the random crap I get from my FLHS alot are tools and tape..lots of tape ..one haul alone netted me 4 rolls of 10mm and 3 rolls of 6mm..another was 5 mixed rolls..most 90% left..still got a heap ..love it 😀

Ken matey no thank someone...it's just the upper surfaces and along the sides..I'll be spraying the underside today in a light gray and speaking of which ...WE HAVE SUCCESS!!!!

THATS RIGHT !
Total success laddies..with the heat here the paint was drying very quickly and I was able to do a heap of work yesterday on it..im not 100% happy as 2 of the grays are extremely close to each other in shape yet weren't ment to be ..that might change a bit of if it annoys me to much I'll just tape off those areas and respray with a even lighter shade 🤔 😉

Pic will follow today 

As i said lads ..pics to follow today and its today so here they are
