6:00 a.m. Sunday, time for the day's first coffee and the unmasking of the spray job. Not much touch up needed!

Classic blitz thread, but I don't think KPop has ever featured in one before!

Oh, and the model is looking good, too!

Breakfast was rather delayed because of an exceptionally fine morning of RC flying at the local park. When gotten around to, it was yogurt with sliced bananas, fresh blueberries and almonds (roasted, no salt).

With two hours to go, we're basically down to decaling. Looks like we might make it!

I dunno, maybe I overshared about my enjoyment of Kpop. Well, for the home stretch, I'll go with a more conventional choice, a great band despite its regrettable absence of adorable Korean girls. Many of my favorite Dire Straits tracks come off their relatively unheralded Communique album.

Aand, we're done, with a quarter hour to spare. You can see some milkiness in a few of the decals, but the Future (Klear) should sort that out over the next few hours as it dries.

Wait… what? No fried food? No alcohol? This is a borderline disqualification.

A right and proper Blitz August. Well done. Congrats. When things settle down don't forget a glamour shot in Completions.
