What is THAT? Looks like a weird type of lapp (Norwegian word), or fish cake.

Oh you have all day to do this, hopefully. You can do it!

Nope. I have until 9am

After that, I go to church. Then to my in-laws for lunch. Then to my sister's for afternoon tea.

This is a deadline racer, this one.

Also, that's a crumpet

I've been listening to Trance. It might be time to step up the pace and switch to hardstyle

Filled, sanded and ready to rumble

Looking very sharp.

Cockpit masking took 15 minutes

Laying down a base of Gunze IJA green. Dries almost before it hits the surface. Then I need to mix up my own Humbrol version of the racing green.

Looking very nice. But you did start this 8.30 in the evening, right? So you can squeeze in an hour or two at the end. Just tell your sister you have something REALLY important to do!

And you have the 2x12 option!

That is on sharp looking plane. Can't wait to see the green paint go on.

Wait no longer!

Thanks Prisca. He is equal prts adorable and exasperating. He's currently trying to destroy my guitar....which I need to play at church in two hours....

Since I didn't have the right green, I've done a bucket chemistry mix of Humbrol 2, 30 and 91.

Came out okayish....

By my reckoning you have a couple of hours to go to your deadline - looks like you could just about do it, you deserve to having got up so early.

Given that humbrol gloss is unlikely to dry before the apocalypse, I am employing a cheat
