Painting Tins. No really...

[MaxPete]

It looks spectacular Jim - wow!

 

[Paul Sutton]

I guess that tank is destined for one of MaxPete's colossal machines....

I hope we get to see him ride it in one of the episodes..

@MaxPete , I picked up some silver paint that matches the pinstriping (used it on the seat pan). Painted the silver on top of the tank instead of the vinyl striping. Never was real happy with the way the first iteration worked around the filler. I like this much better. Thoughts?

Version 2 (↑↑above↑↑) has a slightly wider center stripe, but that allows it to carry all the way across the tank.

↓↓This was version 1.↓ ↓

I knew that tank went to the right place!

One of these is yours William...

 

[DogBunny]

Excellent. I'll go out on a limb here, and say that mine's the bottom one -- I can tell.
It's come so far, and looks good enough to use already -- but I know the magic that awaits it...

Looks great!!!
I think you need to air brush a maple leaf on each side of it. May help get it through customs.
