suppose I should've put 1976 MM2 base in here

(see C&P)

anyway, my dad & I have been progressing well.

I sanded f.box a few nights ago.

here's the result after 1st coat of vht paint- sprayed this evening. I'm quite pleased .

2nd coat has been applied- as instructed on can.

Well done, it will be an impressive looking engine when you have finished it.

I do like the VHT paint.
It gives a great finish once baked.

Looks great, with the base and firebox repainted, you're half way done.

... hey, that looks great, mate!

I, too, like the vht paint. And an MM2 is exactly one I want as a companion for my Jensen #85.

This will be great. There will be lots of brass to polish on top of your good work with the paint.

I'm sure it will be a fine model again soon
