Must be heavy Kev, is that why you are having to use the "muscle and weight gain protein" stuff shown in the second picture of post #13 ?

- And to think you took the mickey out of Adams toe nail polish !

Seriously - its looking good !

It's Weight Gain 4000!

- Back on track - you can see it's taking shape now; and it's nice attention to detail as usual!

I knew someone would comment about that

I'll weigh the duct once I've finished but it's not actually that heavy.

I managed to get another two coats on the weekend. I tried some one coat filler as some of the marks were so small, but most of it came out after a quick sand

Here's the next couple of fills I done:

Here's another coat of paint which helps me see where the defects are:

I've now finished off my second tub of P38. I still need a few bits touched up here and there but overall I'm fairly happy with what i've achieved so far:

How much does it weigh?

Looks pretty good to me, think i'd be bolting it on now.

Mike_Mac · 15th March 2009, 08:04 PM

Definite improvement throughout, Kev. Are you going to do much more on it , or is that it pretty much good to go?

Kev.O · 15th March 2009, 08:28 PM

I just weighed it on some dodgy kitchen scales (used to measure my flour for my bread) and it's saying 1KG. I really don't think it's much more.
Those small bumps on the last picture will sand out. The primer I was using came to an end and spat paint everywhere.
I'm in two minds about doing too much more. Half of me wants to bolt everything back on and the other half can't let the few remaining marks go

. Either way I need to apply a few more coats of paint as that's just primer. I'm going to keep it matt black.

Are you going to wrap it in carbon fibre ?
