My humble documentation of not listening to reason, throwing caution to the wind and laying tracks for a rolling train has made it into the top 12 of the Pelican build contest. (Which is funny because I’m so far from done!!)

Obviously humbled to be in the company of so many awesome builds that taught me so much (mostly to not just be happy with what is) this is pretty cool.

If I didn't have a dog in the hunt and a horse in the race, I'd vote for you!!

I have to admit to not following this thread as closely as I could, but just sub'd to it so I'll get the updates delivered right to my inbox. I'll look forward to Saturday updates the same way I do Chris's monday entries!

Great job, lots of fantastically creative ideas. Thanks for sharing them!

I really like your workspace. I feel like spraying paint in there is going to be a problem?

I might get flak for this but it's possible to paint single stage urethane with a brush and a roller. And I'm not talking about all those youtubers wasting a colossal amount of time painting cars with non-catalysed rustoleum (don't bother).

The VERY broad strokes (pun intended) would be:

- put on lots of paint
- sand it flat
- polish

As an art restorer you'll have an easy time building the relationship you need with the paint to make this work. If you're interested I could guide you along. It would be fun to be a part of it.
