Message from Andy in Oklahoma yesterday.

Progress on the mould positive, for the trucks new name badges that he will be attempting to cast in one piece is progressing.

They will be 400mm long and 40mm tall.

Not sure what level of potential distortion there is on such a long, narrow and somewhat complex casting.

Still, as always I look forward to his progress reports.

In-between he is clearing a large riverside plot, and designing a large house for a friend.

So he is quite busy too.





Furthermore, @forddan68 will be over in a couple of hours to improve the paint on the truck further.

Contemplating removing the stripes as well.

Less to get in the way of his clay bars and potions, plus it allows all the paint to get the same baseline treatment.

And maybe if I reapply the stripes, which I have grown to like, it may be wise to go a bit darker toward the anthracite of the new wheels

Baseline pic taken this morning, it will be interesting to see if there is a visual change in the refraction angles of the paint and a depth of gloss increase.





Lunch will be good too.
