Time for a bit of an update, colour coats have been applied and sanded and 5 coats of clear which will now be allowed to sit of a week or so before flatting off and polishing and then adding the kit which will be all black.
Last coat of clear was yesterday so because of the impending rain in Sydney I dragged it down from the shed and hung it in the rumpus room to escape any additional humidity.
My daughter was given a budgie about 15 years ago that she left with us when she got married and it sleeps ( slept ) in the rumpus room, today I went to get it to hang out on the balcony and the poor little bugger was leg up on the bottom of the cage.
I'm sure it was old age because he was old and doddery but the bright yellow STA body hanging from the exposed beam in the rumpus room may have looked like bloody great bird of prey and caused him too much stress, whatever we are now pet free at the moment so we may even get to do a few things together ( don't know how SWMBO will feel about that :D )
Anyhow here's a current pic
