A relaxing painting job!

After yesterdays grinding and painting of a JCB backactor I thought I would carry on the painting at home. When announced back at WMD HQ, Mrs. Woody was thinking that the house might now be painted but her optimism was soon dashed as I went off to the Man Cave and started painting some more of the 3D prints that I obtained at the Sleaford Model makers Show.

It may all look a bit red but the chassis and wheel rims of the trailer and the ladders and catwalk of the fuel tanks are actually silver. Once other colours are painted on the two 3D prints should look a lot more convincing! The issue with painting small things like this is that you really have to wait for the various colour coatings of paint to dry before you can handle them without fear of smudging what has been painted. That is probably why these types of painting jobs are relaxing unlike painting house!
