Well I made it through all winter without so much a sniffle, then when spring starts.... yeah got a little ill, but I utilized the down time to do some building and prep work.
I hate prepping kits sometimes, it feels more like spackling a wall than anything.  Putty, sand, putty, sand....

Ok sorry, but this thing is a nightmare (and looks a little scary too)



No, I'm not painting a Darth Leia conversion... but that could be cool.

Primed in a dark gray, almost black, to find all the flaws I could.  You saw the before pictures, I probalby should have taken more.  I think this is fiberglass, so I also probably should have been wearing a mask.  Oops.  Lots of cracks, pinholes, and even cavities where the surface would just flake off.  Made sure to go over it carefully, I dont want any suprises when I start painting, like having a bun fall off or something.  She's also going to need filled with some foam, for her trip back to England.

And also Belle of the Yukkon, from Lunatic Fringe



There's more, but I'll leave you with this for now.  Who wants to see boring old pictures of non-painted kits anyway?
